We had a Leica like that, though a bit younger, in the Leica display case at the camera shop I worked at. There was a ton of Leica collectible crap in there, and a dozen or so old, but working, cameras. I was always amazed by them. So old, yet still functioning like hardly a decade had gone by. There was one device in particular that would mount to the bottom of the camera and *automatically* remove and attatch any one of three lenses to the body. This piece of mechanical wizardry blew my mind, and I doubt anything like it will ever be produced in large numbers again. The amazing Leica Shop at Camera West in Monterey, CA has some old Leicas too, but I didn't see anything quite as old as what I'd experienced. My old store was supposed to get a Leica Shop too, before the store went under.
