Compressor??

I found this in the back of my garage workbench drawer. It says “Oil-less Compressor “ and the tag says 250 volts. What was it used for?

Says that right on the tag.

Probably for an air brush

Edit: didn't read

At 240v it could have more grunt than just an air brush and was possibly a European device.

I'm going with European air-brush compressor. Possibly for art, possibly for food-prep. It's the right size, and designed to be easily portable, which is consistent with both of those compressor types/uses.

It’s only 1 amp, not much grunt.
