Kollmyer & Talbot

The Kollmyer & Talbot firm was organized about 1892, doing general machine work, pattern making, and casting work. By 1898 stationary steam engines were added. Gasoline engines became a reality in 1907, but production never achieved any great number and ceased altogether by 1920.
