Patented in January 1885, the production model Airbrush came in a smart black case complete with spare needles in a glass jar and a toolkit comprising of a screwdriver and tweezers. The two spare paint spoons at the top of the box were spare parts that could be ordered separately from a parts catalogue. Mass production techniques were employed so each airbrush carried an individual number on the reverse of the handle to identify it.

The complete working kit including a pump and air tank would cost the purchaser $40 although a 6% discount was available for C.O.D. orders. This price soon rose to $50 as sales rose via offices in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
