VINTAGE CROTON AD 1990, LENORE DOSKOW

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

We love finding vintage ads and it's even better when they have a Croton connection. HERE'S ONE FROM 1990 AND Lenore Doskow--CLICK ON THE IMAGE.

For those who don't know, the Doskows lived on Finney Farm. A world renowned silversmith , Leonore began her career while still a college student when she received permission from her dean to make her jewelry in the science laboratory. After studying Art History at the Sorbonne in Paris for a summer, she opened a tiny shop in Philadelphia. After a few years, she and her husband moved to New York City, but it was the middle of the Depression and they found themselves unemployed with a baby on the way. Lenore would make items like tie clips in large batches at home, and her husband David would sell them to gift shops and boutiques. They moved to Westchester in 1941, where their business flourished. She and her husband owned and operated Leonore Doskow, Inc., a jewelry company selling to upscale stores around the country from 1935 until the 1980s, when her son and his wife took over the company. Many of her early, pins, necklaces and bracelets are collector’s items. She died in 2009 at the age of 97 (info via The Croton Historical Society)
