The 900 introduced automatic exposure to the Polaroid line in 1960. A selenium cell reads the scene and sets the shutter speed without user input โ the first Polaroid to do this. Three years before Kodak's equivalent. It was a meaningful engineering leap delivered in a folding pack-film body that doesn't look extraordinary until you read the manual.
Type 40 roll film is long gone. This is a display piece. But what survives here is exceptional: two original boxes (the camera in its red-lined box, the Wink-Light Model 250 in its foam-fitted box), the matched electronic flash, and the original Model 900 manual. Sixty-five years, two boxes.
Leatherette intact with minimal wear. Chrome trim clean. Bellows appear whole. Wink-Light body clean, fresnel lens intact. The instructions label on the camera back remains legible.
Condition: Untested, sold as-is. Included: Full original outfit โ camera in original red-lined box, Wink-Light Model 250 in original foam-fitted box, original Model 900 manual. Price: $45 CAD. Pickup preferred; shipping available.
Two original boxes, sixty-five years later.
