Vintage Family Gathering: Dablin Family Photos

I bought these photos from an estate sale. The images seem to be focused on the Dablin family. The photo is a family gathering for a birthday.

The date on the back of the image is June 5, 1949.

The following names are also printed on the back:

L to R: Edgar B. Donaldson, Almond M. Jackson, Carl A. Burnham, Forest H. Bermp, John A. Dablin, John B. Coyle, John K. Dablin (his birthday), Marion L. Donaldson, Jessie J. Mann, Elizabeth J. Dablin, Ruth M. Coyle with John B. Coyle, Jr., and Ellen V. Dablin

Take at 4 Bishop Ave., Warcester

I copied the words down as best as I could read them.

What do you think? I think they are having fun.

Until next time…peace

Exploring a 1920s Wedding Photo from Bay City, MI

Here’s another photo that I am placing around the 1920s. I am assuming the couple just got married. And, they are now posing for their first photo as man and wife.

I believe this is a studio photo but I guess the location could be someone’s home.

The only identifying mark on the photo is the studio stamp. The photo was taking by Gorzycki in Bay City, Michigan. I think the other part reads: 2249 E. Grant Sts.

National Wildlife Day

Happy National Wildlife Day! I love watching and photographing the wildlife.

I am a firm believer…when these beautiful birds start to gather…summer is over.

I find nature peaceful and fascinating.

Ospreys are one of my favorite birds of prey to photograph.

Have a great day everyone!

Do you like wildlife? What is your favorite animal to see in the wild?

National Moon Day

“Let the moon teach you the art of being beautiful and lonely at the same time.”

Today is National Mood Day! I love photographing the moon. The night offers a stillness that cannot be duplicated in the sunlight.

Have a wonderful day. When the sun finally sets this evening, say hello to the moon.

Until next time…peace

Celebration

The young girl on the right is proudly holding a doll. The dress of the doll looks handmade. I am wondering if this was a birthday gift or other celebration. All the children are dressed well which gives me the impression the day was a special occasion.

I am guessing the photo was taken in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

School Photo circa 1930s

This photo was part of an estate sale. Based on the style of clothing and the type of photos, I am guessing around 1930s.

To me, the image looks like a school photo. I would actually go so far to say, a private school. The children all seem to be the same age–preschool or kindergarten.

Two Girls Reading a Book

This is the cabinet photo. So, I am placing the date around the 1900s. I do not have any information on the photo. I wish I did. I would love to know the girls’ names.

The girls are very well dressed in the photo. They obviously come from a wealthy family.

Two Kids and a Dog

No matter the decade a family pet is always a welcomed companion for children. The kids seem to be dressed up and posing for the photographer.

I do not have any information on the photo. But I am guessing, the photo was taken in the late 1920s or early 1930s.

Did you have a family pet as a kid?

Until next time…peace
