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.
