Item is a Kodomatic instant camera with an electronic flash. It comes with a manual. Has faceplate attached; rare, as in 1976 Polaroid launched a lawsuit against Eastman Kodak for patent infringement. After a fifteen year legal battle, Polaroid won and Kodak wrote them a check for $925 million, which was the largest settlement ever paid in a patent trial and Judge Rya Sobel barred the company from the instant-photo business. Due a class-action suit, Kodak then had to buy back the cameras for as it could no longer supply film so it offered a refund for customers if they mailed in the faceplate.

Series consists of 205 instant cameras.
Polaroid cameras were invented in 1948 by Edwin Land, in response to a question by his daughter about why she could not see the picture he had just taken of her. The Kodak company later tried to invent their own version of the instant camera, resulting in a product with several differences from the Polaroid version. However, this was found to be too similar and Koday guilty of patent infringement, leading to the end of production of their instant cameras and the film for them.
