AN 1880's AIR BRUSH MADE BY THE AIRBRUSH MFG. CO. OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS

Airbrush History? Museum? Séance Room? What's this nonsense all about? I have part of my airbrush collection in a large glass curio case in the dining room. I jokingly refer to it as "The International Airbrush Museum." On the opposite wall is an old sign from a psychic's shop. See below. When people ask how business is, I tell them it's slow and to make ends meet I use the dinner table to do "special readings" to make ends meet. "Special readings" are done after you've drunk a glass of buttermilk. I can then divine your future from the lines left on the empty glass. Doubters beware! The séance part is for fun but I am serious about my airbrushes. I have been collecting them since the sixties. I do retouching and photography and started repairing airbrushes for people as most of them weren't mechanically inclined, especially when it came to Paasche AB's. That's the path that led to this site about airbrushes and airbrush history. Can't get enough airbrush history? Visit Andy Penaluna's excellent site, History of the Airbrush
