Ernst Leitz New York Display Stand *

Very rare, original 1930s wooden Leica display stand from E. Leitz New York (mounting screw 1/4”) in very good condition LITERATURE James L. Lager (ed.), Leica Illustrated History, Vol. III, 1998; cover and page 330. Decoration material for Leica cameras, lenses and accessories in camera store windows has been produced in quite a variety over the decades. Unfortunately, not very many of those display stands have survived from the early years, as brittle materials such as papier mâché, foil, cloth and also wood were used for them, and obviously dealers replaced them after new models arrived, at a time when there was no collectors’ market at all. In today’s market, such stands are particularly sought-after, because every private collection display case is beautifully enhanced if original vintage display material is displayed with the individual camera models of the time.
