- Polaroid Camera
- Date

- Material
- plastic; metal; glass; leather;
- Dimensions
- 15.0 x 7.0 x 27.0 cm
- Description
- A beige metal and plastic Polaroid Land Camera 800 with a pop-open front plate that exposes the lens - which extends out onto the plate with attached bellows - and has a small metal stand that allows the camera to sit on a surface as well as a dial that controls the zoom. A leather handle is attached along one side, near a small red plastic switch [possibly the trigger], and along the top is the viewfinder, range finder, and a slot into which attachments like a flash could be fit. The back panel pops open with a metal latch to insert the film.Hunter used the camera while working at the Sulphur Mountain Gondola when it first opened in 1959 - he was posted at the top and took photos of people as they came off. At the time there were no buildings at the top so wind and dust frequently scratched the pictures before he had a chance to seal them - despite this, Hunter made $66 on the first day [pictures were black and white and cost $1 each].
