It has been said that you can find treasures in the most unusual places…Since we were free for the day and the weather was unseasonably warm, we debated going to the flea market. Since all the snow had just recently melted, we knew it would be so muddy there, so we had second thoughts. All morning we went back and forth. Do we go? Finally, when we knew it was getting late and it was our last chance to go, we decided to risk it. Since I am a huge fan of yard sales, the flea market is always a treat. We went up and down the aisles finding nothing we felt was worthwhile, but having a great time just checking everything out. All of a sudden, there it was…a Polaroid 80A. This camera was made from 1957 to 1959 and retail price was $72.75. I would imagine that was a lot of money at the time. Although we discovered that the film will go out of production in 2009, we will still treasure it as a true antique. It was a great way to spend $3. And yes, we did get muddy…but it was well worth it. Here is a picture of our “new” camera!
Happy New Year!!
