Some more of my Moms camreas

[cruzerlou]

I don't know if this is the right place to post these , as I really don't know anything about cameras , but I think it's the right place except for maybe one .

In any case if there in the wrong place feel free to move them .

We'll start with what I think is the oldest of the 4, it's a Polaroid One Step  land camera

I think it took some sort on film pack that had a battery in it and if I remember right it took this long plug in type of flash that went on the top of the camera , I know it would spit out the pictures out of the front of the camera and they would devolve in a minute or so  .

Does it have any value on the open marker like eBay? if so how much?

This is what I think is the next oldest of her cameras it's a Kodak Instamatic 104 and took a cube flash , Again does it have any value on the open market and if so how much?

 This one was one of her favorites as it was fully automatic it's a Vivitar PS:20 and under the sliding lens cover the letters DX in the lower right corner and over the lens says Vivitar 35MM 1.56 . Interesting enough this still has a roll of film in it , no telling how old it is , mid/ late 80's maybe

Any way I put a set of AA batteries in it and if it still works, the flash sure did I took a rather unflattering selffie and according to the window there's still 8 more pictures to take .

I wouldn't know where to get the film developed but Ill shoot it up just the same and try to find somewhere to get it done , no telling what's on there maybe a Christmas long past and at least one really bad sefflie . Again same question as if any value on the market and what it might be .LOL.

and from the looks of it most likely the best of the bunch . It's a Cannon SNAPPYS Fully Automatic , it has 35m  and 1:4.5 on the lens cover and I know she really liked this camera . again same question , value if any and what it would be  on the open market

Thanks ahead of time for any help you all can be to me in this matter .

As far as I know this was the last camera she bought

There is no real value with any of the above cameras. The Kodak may be collectable but with a value of 1-5 dollars. The Polaroid is collectable. A company called 'The Impossible Project' makes and sells film that will fit it but at 17 pounds for one 10 exposure film its expensive. Value about 25 dollars - perhaps more on a good day. The Vivitar again almost no value- 1 to 3 dollars the Canon perhaps maximum 10 to 15 dollars if you are very lucky and if they were working and in nice, clean condition. Batteries are expensive for these cameras and they won't work without them. The Vivitar and the Canon look in poor condition and in my opinion you would be lucky to sell them at all.

Thanks ,I was just curious really, my Mom bless her soul was a real penny pincher and literally 10 cents between this and that camera would be a deal breaker for her.
I think both the Vivitar and cannon both still work, one takes AAA, and the other takes as and as I said one still has film in it as I found out to my surprise this morning .
I put batteries in both to check the flash and took what has to be possibly the worst sefflie ever taken if the film is any good LOL .
I'll most likely give them to someone that likes those type of cameras , maybe a kind of Karma thing here for the help I got on my old Pronto my Dad brought back from Euroupe after WWII if that's OK with the mods .
Thanks for the info.

I'd keep the old folding camera, its sentimental value is probably more than its cash value. Perhaps someone else in the family would like it. The story of how it was acquired is a good one!

Glad to help.

My whole childhood was chronicled on a 126 Instamatic like yours above. I've not a single picture in focus, but I still keep the camera around!
