250FF was launched before WWII, approx. 246 units made. On the top-plate of the camera engraved with "Brigham Bridlington", Brigham was a camera shop in Bridlington, England. The company used to own various Leica 250 Reporter cameras. All the cameras were engraved “Brigham Bridlington” because they were given to photographers who were taking pictures of the tourists in Bridlington. The photographers were walking on the street, beach, party… then people came to the shop and bought the pictures they liked.
The basic-plate of the camera engraved “Open/Close” as it was sold to England, also it is the one from the last batch 150000-150125, this camera has been completely serviced by Ottmar Michaely, leather around the body has been replaced after the war, in good working condition, shows signs of use.
