LEICA TIES




A couple of days ago I was looking for something that I had misplaced.  I didn’t find it, but while I was looking, I came across a few Leica items that I had not thought about for quite a while.  There, neatly tucked away in a drawer were three Leica ties.

They instantly brought back memories of LHSA (International Leica Society) meetings in the 70s.  They commemorated important events in the history of Leica, like the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Leica to the world market in 1925, or one of the LHSA meetings with a picture of a Leica 250 and one tie depicting a Leica M4 or M4-2 and a maple leaf.  I don’t recall the actual occasion, but have to assume that it was in honor of the Ernst Leitz Canada (ELCAN) operation.




 

These very high quality ties were made just for LHSA members by Ronnie Reis and his company Reis of New Haven.  It would be interesting to see if any other readers of this blog have any of these treasures.  Please let me know.
