Actually, that was VIII, the last one for that era of the Fins. My dad had season tickets in the perfect season, I was nine and got to go to most of the games. 32-2 over two seasons! Then Zonk, Kiick and Warfield left.
Thank God for that! I flew a number of times as a kid when that was still allowed. If you were in the first few rows of the no-smoking section that bordered the smoking section, it didn't do you much good at all.:scowl: A lot of things have changed for the better.
Smoking on airliners.
I'll see your old video camera and raise you an older camera

In all fairness, I didn't see these growing up. I found this one at my aunt's house after she passed away & thought it was cool. The date on the back says 1918.
EDIT: the dates say 1912, but that's the patent dates
These things are more ubiquitous than you think. It's an old poloroid I believe. I was given one by my grandmother when I was younger. Thinking it was a collectors item I took it into a camera shop just to get a sense of the value (the place was full of old large and medium format cameras). They said it was worth 10 bucks and this was in the mid 90's.
Here is something you don't see much of anymore. Employers who actually show their employees some appreciation.
Also; Les Pauls, and American Strats in the pawn shop for $100.

I don't see these around much anymore.
Square format slides. You REALLY don't see those much anymore.
While the one dblg posted may not be a polaroid by name,...I still think it's a pack film camera, although admittedly I'm not an expert
This one is definitely a Polaroid although most likely a lot younger. There is plenty of resemblance and is closer to the one I owned which made me think dblg's was a Poloroid. I also don't think the one dblg posted is as old as the patent date, but again,...not an expert.

Definately not an old Poloroid:

I tried looking up similar cameras and I came to the same conclusion as the answer you got: worth ~ten bucks.
Oh well, it's a cool thing to have and look at I suppose.

PROPER lawnmowers with break-your-wrist ripcord starters, & no safety cutouts:
The finest aircraft that ever there was:
I miss that thing tearing the sky apart in the late afternoon.
Oh, & white dog****.

Ah, the cap bomb. LOVED those things, along w/ANYthing related to caps. I was pleasantly surprised to see actual paper roll caps FS somewhere recently- my kids also loved them.
