Walter Benjamin founded the Benjamin company in 1899. It was located in St. Louis mo. The first model was called the St. Louis. From 1904 to 1906 the rifles were made in Granite City IL. Production went back to St. Louis in 1906 until 1986. In 1977 Benjamin purchased Sheridan Air Gun Co (Sheridan was located in Racine WI) and moved the production from Racine.
Crosman purchased the combined air gun companies in Feb 1992 and moved them to New York.
In 1936 the name "Benjamin Franklin" appeared on some models and has no significance, except as a marketing ploy.
