About Me I
have been in business since 1981, starting at 283 Main St. Hackensack, NJ. I had a furniture store, "Bergen
Upholstery and Furniture Co.". In the showroom, among the furniture settings, I displayed model
boats. I no longer keep a showroom. In December 1999, I moved to my current address where I keep a large
data base of models to be bought and/or sold, model makers, to make or repair a model. I, Stan Sinowitz, was one of the first members of the," Ship Model
Society of Northern NJ". In June 1981, I was elected to be its first Secretary/Treasurer. Over
the years I have made many fine models. Many of you, like me, started making models as a young child. I started
from kits and went up to scratch built plank on frame models such as the one shown on my desk of Albert Strange's 27'
Phantom in 1/2" scale. I can no longer make models because of my disability. I still enjoy being in the modeling
community. Below is
a picture of me at my office. I am surrounded by models I have made, a library of books pertaining to model making and
yachting. I and my brother still own "Mary Loring" a 39' 10", Wintrop Warner cutter,
built by Paul Luke in 1947, We go sailing on her every week, and a few long weekends, June thru November.
