Pecole Posted October 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has somebody already seen this plastic hand viewer marked (with a simple decal) E. Leitz New York? When in my Leica Fontenelle collection, since I could not find any code/reference, I called it "Cheap ELNY NAKUL". Any information welcome, indeed. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Hi Pecole, Take a look here Cheap "NAKUL" by ELNY. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
alan mcfall Posted October 4, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 4, 2019 Yes, I have seen a total of 3 over the years, and had one of my own for a while. Yours is missing the plastic lens that slips into the top and has a black plastic rim. I don't think ELNY actually made them, but just applied their logo sticker. This same sticker is observed on a few other items. Perhaps during the war when the Nakul was unavailable, or just a product to make a qucik dollar. So, they do exist, but are rarely seen. "Cheap NAKUL" would seem to be an appropriate name, I have never seen a code word or number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
