Left: An early Paasche Model A. The handle design is based on a 1907 Paasche patent claiming "a handle conforming better to the hand than the cylindrical handle heretofore used". The air hose passes through the handle to right angle fitting on the air valve body. The trigger is thumb actuated as in the original Walkup design. It is marked "J.A. Paasche" rather than "Paasche Airbrush Co." To confuse the issue of dating this airbrush, there is a 1905 Paasche patent that used a top mounted trigger as on modern AB's. |

Right: Close-up of Paasche A-B. The A, B, C are the same basic airbrush, the difference being the angle of the cup and air blast nozzle and which direction the spray went. The picture is a "B" for spraying on a horizontal surface. The "A" had a cup that was for use on an slanted easel. |
