I love the fact that you can still find these treasures out there if you're lucky enough.

I've read similar stories before, but not with such interesting photos. Thanks.

Wow -- cool photos! What an exciting find that must have been! It could have just been some boring family snapshots.

Amazing images! How was the film developed inside the camera though?

I was wondering that as well, but haven't researched how that particular camera works. Cool stuff!

I was assuming someone just used it as a convenient spot to store a few negatives.

Me too ... I think these are sheets of film, not a roll ...
Glad someone found and posted this -- I'd heard about it but never got the chance to look up the link to the story.Message edited by author 2013-01-14 13:17:38.

It was an early Polaroid prototype. Clearly the ejection mechanism needed some work.

That's what I thought at first view as well, but thought it was a little odd. Then again, the world was a lot different 100 years ago.

Last night was the first I've heard about it, and read the story on NBCNEWs.com (Old MSNBC). I was surprised that no one beat me to it in posting. LOL.
