Model 95 boxes 1949 and 1950s

Original Model 95 box from 1949 (left) and revised box from 1950s. The original Model 95 box was more complex with the burgundy red area being a pull-off cap. It was covered in embossed paper and silk-screened — the 'Polaroid', 'Camera' and slogan being in yellow.

The revised box was of the 'shoe box' design with a removable lid covered in gloss paper retaining the style of the original box. Accessories packaging was simplified at the same time - click here for the evolution of the PR-22 packaging story.
