shrewd marketing …

a Leitz branded Swiss Army Knife

Toronto. Some high end camera manufacturers came up with a shrewd means to gain exposure. The firms marketed various items associated with their name or marque.

For example, Leitz offered items like the Swiss army knife at left branded with their name, Or for those with deeper pockets, replica cameras like the UR-Leica. Or they sold glass/crystal versions of their cameras if the shapes were definitive such as the “glassy Hassy” crystal Hasselblad.

While we can’t say that you will find such special treats amongst the items at our 2026 events, you will find exciting things to expand your collection/user gear.

Coming up fast is our May 3rd (Estate) Spring Auction and May 24th Spring Fair. Details and a poster will be pinned to the top of this site as we near the date.
