PAASCHE Airbrush – Big Name in Airbrush History
Airbrush history of the 20th century starts with name PAASCHE. The gunsmith Jens Andreas Paasche emigrated from Norway in 1900. For a while he worked for Thayer and Chandler but then left them and in 1904 started his own airbrush company. Same way as Olaus S. Wold who has left “Thayler and Chandler” too and called his company “Wold Airbrush Company“, Paasche gave his company name “Paasche Airbrush Company”.
