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.

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.

Birthday Smiles

I am guessing, that the photo was taken on the little girl’s birthday. She has such a big smile.

I don’t have any information on the photo. From the clothing and photo style, I am guessing 1940s.

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.

International Picnic Day

Since today is International Picnic Day, I thought I would share this image. I am placing this photo in the late 1940s.

There was no information on the photo. I am guessing from the style of clothes and photo type.

Do you like picnics? I am wondering if she isn’t camping or on a road trip. There’s coffee of the table. The picnic basket appears to be full.

A Couple and Their Dog

I actually have a lot of photos of this couple. Unfortunately, none of the images have any identifying marks.

Since they are posing out front on a porch, I am wondering if they bought a new home.

From their style of clothing and the type of image, I place this photo in the early 1940s.

Outdoor Picnic-August 1968

I pulled this image from a slide that was dated August 1968. I purchased these slides as an estate lot. The owners must have traveled a lot. I am loving all the photos from different places around the world. If the locations still exist, I am adding them to my bucket list.

There are photos of couples in front of these cabins. Since this photo was taken in August. I wonder if this isn’t a farewell to summer picnic? The people in the other cabin could be coming together for one last summer picnic.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
