Access to the coins is via the underside, where the wind-up knob can also be found.

In good working condition with no chips or cracks to the plastics. The only minor flaws are the missing sticker on the tray upon which the coin is placed and discoloration of the robot's googly eyes, but otherwise it's in good shape with only minor cosmetic signs of age and use.

]]> Polaroid Automatic 104 Land Camera – 1965 – complete with despatch note https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/polaroid-automatic-104-land-camera-1965-complete-with-despatch-note/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=polaroid-automatic-104-land-camera-1965-complete-with-despatch-note Mon, 24 Sep 2018 09:22:32 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=3246 In very good condition, this Polaroid Automatic 104 Land Camera can be dated to precisely September 1965. Not only are we able to offer the camera in original case with instructions and two clips but also included is the original despatch note from Dixons Photographic Ltd. of Edgware, Middlesex.

The camera itself is in very good shape with only minor wear to the outer plastic case as would be expected and has fully working mechanisms - the "bellow" lens opens and closes smoothly and there are no tears. We have not been able to test it as a working camera due to lack of film, but we have no reason to think it should not work. It does however make for an excellent addition to a camera collection or simply as a display piece. The documentation adds that little bit of extra history to the item and we think that's quite special in and of itself.
