Top this one.
I was home on leave 1946-1948 when my Buddy took a picture of me with a new
camera,outside his fathers Camera store. The picture was brown,the camera
the first Polaroid. We were  impressed and  intended to buy Polaroid Stock.
I had $2500 to invest. Can anyone till me what that would be worth today.
BUT we went around the corner to our club and had a few. Never did follow
through.
