Lewis Abramowitz (1874-1931) was a merchant who operated a department store in Barnegat. He originally immigrated from Russia, along with his wife, Dora D. Abramowitz. They were a notable Jewish-Lithuanian couple. Abramowitz's department store sold toys, furniture, clothing, and much more. Lewis passed away from an automobile accident in 1931 and left control of his store to his wife, Dora, and she continued to operate it for a number of years.

 
This incredible piece is inscribed "Lewis Abramowitz" on one side. It was found tucked in a basement in a Barnegat residence. It was gifted to me by Nancy G. in June of 2024. Thank you Nancy for this awesome piece of 'Old Barnegat' history!
