Polaroid Electric Eye 900 instant camera, in good overall condition with untested functionality, dated to the 1960s (c. 1960–1963).
Description from the seller
Up for auction: a monumental, solid, and historic vintage instant camera—the Polaroid Electric Eye 900—produced in the United States by Polaroid Corporation between 1960 and 1963.
The lot is presented in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and storage consistent with the object's age and history.
Mechanical: The function has not been tested due to the absence of era-specific cartridges and film rollers. From a manual mechanical standpoint, the front panel releases normally and the metal linkages allow the bellows to extend along the lower rail up to the end-of-travel stop.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The rugged camera body retains its gray finish and original textured coating, showing only normal and light signs of handling, small localized superficial scratches, and the natural patina of time on the polished metal parts of the rail. The dark-fold bellows material maintains good structural and geometric integrity. The dark gray side module housing the viewfinder and rangefinder is firmly anchored to the body.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
