Brown's Hotel and Country Club Ashtray
This 11.7Cm in diameter glass ashtray promotes Charles and Lilian Brown's Hotel and Country Club of Loch Sheldrake, NY.
This establishment was located in "The Borscht Belt" of the Catskills Region of Eastern New York State. Brown's and other resorts in this area were built primarily for upper class Jews who, in those days were often refused service in many hotels and vacation spots. Many, like Brown's, were full service hotels, which in their entertainment areas fostered the careers of many stars.
Times have changed, and the Borscht Belt still exists as a retreat from urban life, but it's nothing like its long gone hey-day. There is good skiing in the area, and Monticello harness racing track is located there.
The area remains rather bucolic.
There had been some talk of reviving the Catskills by allowing casino gambling in hotels there, but these ideas are still in the talking stage.
This is a nice memento of The American Scene…...
