Description

This box held the film for the original Polaroid Swinger. Type 20C was historically significant as Polaroid's first, coaterless black and white film-meaning you didn't have to wipe a smelly chemical stick over the photo after it developed. It was discontinued in 1979, so even an empty box is a finite piece of 20th-century history.
