Collection: Testors

The Testor Corporation has been manufacturing products for hobbies and crafts for more than eighty years. Since 1929, the oval Testors logo has been associated with quality and integrity. Testor paints, glues, airbrushes and accessories are sold world-wide and are still proudly made in the USA.

The company started back in 1929, when Nils F. Testor, a young Swedish immigrant, purchased the assets of a small Rockford company making an adhesive product called “Karlson's Klister.”

Klister was an adhesive made for mending women's stockings, and chiefly used by local cobblers for making and repairing shoes.  As the glue became more popular other applications were developed.
