1919 Benjamin Rifle Advert
The original
home of the Benjamin Air Rifle and Mfg Co. was 611 N. Broadway which
was the Leader Building. Torn down in 1942, there just aren't many
pictures to be found. However, I finally found a postcard. And right
there on the top of the building is "A. Wissler - Survey...." This is
where all of the model C, E, F, G, 200, 600, 700, etc were made.

The Benjamin marked holster is a rare find nowadays!
Over the years,Benjamin supplied plenty of info' on airgun use and maintainance.In fact their instruction booklets were so thorough it was your own darned fault if you, "shot your eye out!"
