Speaking Of Maces

People. I went up to our attic with my mom today, and, man, there is so much AMAZING stuff up there. So much. For instance, my great-grandfathers aaaancient Polaroid camera (like one of the first versions, I think, leather casing and everything), with original manual and crazy-cool external flash bulb thingy. I also found a typewriter (in mint condish, I might add), tons of records, and, of course, old early-childhood memory things. Actually, we went up there first to find my mom’s old film cameras – we couldn’t find them! Oh well, they’ll probably turn up somewhere. I’m just glad we went up there – even though it’s where we store all our scary Halloween props and it reminds me of campfire stories from the 7th grade trip – and found all that other cool stuff.

I think that’s the model he had, or close to it. I’ll post a picture of ours once I.. take a picture of it. I hope it still works. Even if it doesn’t, it will be awesome to keep around and look at. In the case that it doesn’t work, and if I was going to buy a Polaroid (vintage, preferably – but I don’t need any more cameras at the moment.. heh), what’s a good place to buy one? I know, eBay probably has lots of them, but I’m afraid of getting ripped off/it looks confuzzling/is it even a decent place to buy a camera (sorry, eBay noob)? Maybe I could just find one at a yardsale!

NEW: Wait! Yes! A camera has been found! I knew they were hiding somewhere.. My mom found it in a closet (of course). She only found one, for now, and just a couple of lenses (and the manuals and stuff are in the attic, we know). Now I must learn how to use them…
