Washington Houston Talbott
Indianapolis, Indiana circa 1845-1866
Of all the silversmiths and jewelers working in Indiana around the mid-nineteenth century, none was more prominent than Washington Houston Talbott. More silver bearing his name, or the name of his company, exists today than that of all his contemporaries combined, not a small tribute to this self-made craftsman and businessman who rose to considerable prominence in the city of Indianapolis.
