Jesse M. Dunbar (1884-1974) was one of several General Electric engineers who was sent to Moscow under a contract to provide technical assistance in the production of transformers. He was accompanied by his wife Daisy Mae (née Cole) and daughter, Edna (1910-2011). During his two-year stay, the family was able to acquire a number of fine Russian enamels.
