some lens cases offered by Leitz over the years: hard leather, bakelite, glove leather, polystyrene
Toronto. Interchangeable lens cameras need somewhere to put the extra lenses. Often the lens came with a case or one could be purchased.
Over the years these cases (or pockets) were made of various materials: metal (aluminum) for tropical use; bakelite; leather; polystyrene; etc.
Shown at left are a few such cases made by Leitz. Other makers had similar offerings. Some of the lenses in our May 3rd auction include a case of one material or another; some lenses have no case included at all.
Come and join us on May 3rd for our spring (Estate) auction. Parking and admission are free and the folks are friendly. What better way to spend a balmy Sunday afternoon !
NB. The title of the post came to mind with the children’s playing rhyme, “A Pocket Full of Posies“
