Polaroid Land Camera "The 700"

Antique roll film instant camera produced in the late 1950s, and had a fairly short production run of only 25,000 units.

 

I was going to say despite its cool looks, it's basically a fancy paperweight... but I was surprised to find an unopened box of type 42 roll film in the leather case, which expired in 1960! I have seen a few people have luck recently with this ancient film, so I am extremely tempted to give it a try.

 

Also in the box was a light meter, a BC flashgun, and 3 boxes of four flashbulbs.

 

This thing looks like it was never used! All the tags for the leather case were still intact as well!

 

Gift from a friend. Thanks again!!
