Polaroid land camera   swinger model 2

Camera Lamp

A great conversation piece in any industrial space, home, or studio.

Polaroid, love polaroid...must be an age thing.

But back in popularity with the ‘young’ again.

Beautifully designed and manufactured, and sadly now past its intended purpose, this has been individually handmade into a lovely retro lamp.

Will look great just about anywhere, adds a little bit of style to your space, and something that gets noticed, as a swinger should be !

Style and substance, what’s not to like.

The Polaroid Model 20 "Swinger" was a popular Land Camera produced by the Polaroid Corporation between July 1965 and 1970.

It was the first truly inexpensive instant camera, a fact that helped fuel its enormous popularity and made it one of the top-selling cameras of all time. The Swinger was especially successful in the youth market due to its low price, stylish appearance, and catchy Meet the Swinger jingle.

In fact, it was so successful that it became Polaroid's best selling product at the time, and increased their share in the new camera market.

The song of the commercial Meet the Swinger was sung by Barry Manilow and a female chorus with the music written by Mitch Leigh, and the lyrics that used the instructions of how to take photographs with the camera and also revealed the price were written by Phyllis Robinson.
