A while 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 four Leica ties.
Three of them 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.
The fourth tie was of a
different heritage and appears to be of a later date because it is noticeably
narrower. It depicts just Leica SLR
cameras in a diagonal layout in a bluish gray on a blue background.
It would be interesting to
see if any other readers of this blog have any of these treasures. Please let me know.
