Mysterious airbrush patterned in 1908

[lisaamalia]

Has anyone ever seen this airbrush before? Although it says it was patterned on February 25, 1908, there is no information as to the model, nor when it may have been made. Any hints will be so appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

I think That's a Paasche airbrush and the patent # is US-0879891A



Thanks,

I think I have seen that on the airbrush museum website, maybe worth looking there.

Do you airbrush with it? What does it spray like?

Welcome Lisa

It does look like an early Paasche as seen here

for sure an early Paasche - the patent date puts it at or after 1908, and the handle shape keeps it to maybe 1930, or so... Not a very common model to find these days. I have only seen one before, and it was missing the trigger. Nice piece.

Thank you Kingpin! I just wanted to see what year it may have been made. I saw 1930s-1940s. I like collecting a few vintage ones. -Lisa

Thank you RK. I don't paint with this, I was planning to purchase it for my collection. I do create some airbrush art which I will share in the future. I use other Paasches, Iwatas, and or Sotar.

Hi RK, I just purchased it and it just arrived !!! I'll post more photos of it on a new thread. I don't plan to airbrush with it, just keeping it for my little collection since it's a nice little vintage piece.
