I "Landed" this Polaroid


Hubby took me to an auction recently and bid on this Polaroid Land camera for me. This was the first camera of it's kind - the first one to shoot and print. It revolutionized photography. This model was manufactured from 1948-1957. The roll type film used in it was discontinued in 1992, so I can't use the camera, but I wanted to add it to my collection anyway.

Such a cool camera. Reminds of scenes from old film where a photographer is all set to take portraits.
