If you follow the history of the Polaroid line at all, you will know that Polaroid roll film was discontinued in 1992. A few months ago, I wrote to the folks at The Impossible Project, to hopefully discover if any of the machinery was saved when they took over the factory in the Netherlands. Unfortunately not, as Polaroid had scrapped them years before TIP scooped it up. So, essentially, this is a beautiful desk conversation piece.

The earlier version of this camera, is famous for having been used by Mary Moorman, a woman standing about 20 feet from President Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and taking one of the most important photographic pieces in film history, right behind The Zapruder Film in its importance. Her photograph, which was taken just after frame 313 on that film, shows what many think could be a man dressed in a uniform, shooting a rifle, on The Grassy Knoll. Contrary to popular urban legend, Polaroid film stock is sharp, sharp material. This blog is not a JFK Assassination forum, but after having seen The Men Who Killed Kennedy on A&E, well, anything is possible.
