Thanks for the link., what is funny is the must run double websites or linnk them together because I had gone to:
http://www.badger-airbrush.com/contact.htm
not to be confused with:
http://www.badgerairbrush.com/contact.htm
They appear to be identical I guess they wanted to make sure however you typed in their name, you go to them. Unlike .... what www. whitehouse. com is reputed to being.

T&C was bought by Badger in 2000 after shutting their doors in 1998. Here is a good site that shows some of the history of airbrushes:

Click the "History" link and there are lots of tidbits in there.
Having multiple domains, such as www.badgerairbrush.com and www.badger-airbrush.com reflect to the same site is not uncommon. There are many people who "Speculate" on web sites and will grab up domain names similar to one that is in use and then charge outrageous sums to sell the domain name to the proper company. I once heard that someone grabbed www.kmart.com and charged K-Mart something on the order of $100,000 to get it back.
