Thomas Curtis, Jr.
Overview
Thomas Curtis, Jr. (died 2000; Hougart does not print a birth year) was a Navajo silversmith. His entry in our reference library is purely relational: son of Thomas Curtis, brother of Jennifer Curtis, and father of Rydel Victor Curtis. It records nothing else — no styles, no working dates. We publish it because the family line is real and collectors tracing a Curtis-family stamp will need this branch of it.
Collector's caution: Hougart documents no individual mark for Thomas Curtis, Jr. The T. CURTIS-family stamps are documented under his father Thomas Curtis; read any such stamp together with the work's period and style before attributing it to father or son.
