A folding hood for the Xenon made by New York Leitz. Leitz code XIOOM. Finished in black paint. Since it is a screw-type fastener, this is one of the earlier versions of the XIOOM. The screw itself is chrome.
While chrome-finished XIOOM hoods with a side button locking mechanism are occasionally seen, the black paint screw-type is extremely rare. In addition, the fact that the word XENON is engraved entirely in capital letters is sure to appeal to collectors.

Although it shows some signs of age, the hood itself has very little wear. The matte coating on the inside has a slight dullness.
Tested on a Xenon lens and confirmed to fit. The folding mechanism operates smoothly.
For those who seek something truly different, and especially for devoted NY Leitz enthusiasts. A rare piece, highly suitable for any collection.
