While doing my daily eBay search, I came across a Binks Raven in a wood case. Now to me, this wreaks of late 60's to mid 70's for when produced as wood cases didn't occur much after that point. Now after dicussing with DaveG about this one, some interesting facts have been remembered.
1) Binks did not manufacture airbrushes but rebranded other manufacturer's products.
2)the brush looks to be all over black powder coated but a later made Raven (1980's)also up for bid has much less black coating (just the back end)
3)the color cup does look to be Badger and also powder coated
4) the spray cap and entire front end of the brush looks like nothing like any Badger I have ever laid eyes on and DaveG is stumped too.
5) I remembered that in the 80's all Bink's ads were also paired with Thayer & Chandler in print ads in the hobby magazines
I have tried to upload pics from my phone but it just won't work so, here is a link and my purchase price! Any suggestions on the brush origins guys??
