Switzer’s Receipt For A Polaroid Instant 20 Land Camera
-
Today I received an old Polaroid camera from my uncle back in Dublin.
It is a Polaroid Instant 20 Land Camera and comes in its original box with the manual and this receipt from Switzers.
The receipt is from December 24th, 1977 and is for
Instant 20 camera … £19.95
Double pack of film … £6.28
1 box of flashes … £1.34Over the next few days I will test it out to see if the shutter still works. If it does I still have a few boxes of type 84 in my fridge which are hopefully still good.
I remember my uncle using this camera. I remember him pulling the film and putting it under his arm to keep it warm while it developed. Hopefully it still works.
nice dave –
id say it probably still works
especially if the box, receipt and manual, sounds as if it has been looked after . . .best of luck with the testing . . .
Very cool. Its nice to be given an old family camera like that. My Dad gave me an old 127 box camera last year
which he had taken photos of us on when we were very small, was nice to use it again after all that time.I tested the camera briefly and the shutter works.
It’s loaded with Type 84 right now so I will take a few shots over the next few weeks.
