Donald Sherwood Gilmore was a mid century renaissance man. He married into and rose to become president of the Upjohn Company; he was an avid car collector who established the Gilmore Car Museum, currently with over 300 cars; and he worked in silver as another hobby, starting his own shop in Kalamazoo. He has an interesting life summary on Wikipedia, but I couldn't find out that much about his silver shop.
