Austin Wilson (1900-1976) - Diné (Navajo Nation)

Navajo silversmith Austin Wilson was active from the 1920s to 1976.  He was Navajo but lived near Zuni Pueblo.  He was one of 38 Navajo smiths living near Zuni Pueblo and working with Charlie Kelsey, owner of one of the three trading posts at Zuni.  It is not clear if he was employed by Kelsey or sold jewelry to Kelsey.  His work was in the enormous collection of former Zuni trader C. G Wallace.
