Welcome to the home page of my Sheridan web site
As a collector and enthusiast of Sheridan air guns I set up this site to share my enthusiasm with other collectors
My main interest is in the various air rifles produced by Sheridan from 1947 to 1977

Company History

Sheridan Products Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin USA, was founded in 1945 by Mr. Ed Wackerhagen and Mr. Bob Kraus.
In this Company memo dating from 1968, Mr. Wackerhagen shares a brief history with the employees at that time.
The Benjamin Air Rifle Co. bought Sheridan in 1977 and continued operations in Racine.
Crosman bought Benjamin/Sheridan in 1992 and soon after moved operations to Bloomfield, NY.



Sheridan designed and produced fine air rifles, pistols, paint ball markers, and tranquilizer guns.
The company also produced pellets, target traps, and other items to use with their air guns.
Sheridan products have stood the test of time; many are still in use today and highly sought after by collectors.

Of particular interest is the Model A "Super-Grade" and Model B "Sporter"
