Description
After the Kodak Instamatic and similar cameras became widely available in the 1960--affordable cameras for the general public for the first time ever, the famous Sylvania Blue Dot Magicube allowed amateur photographers the ability to take up to 4 pictures without changing the flash bulb for the first time ever. The cube attached to the top of the camera, and rotated with each picture, putting a new flash forward each time. The magicube was one of the pioneering developments that brought photography to the masses, and helped parents capture many of the memories we look back on today!

Ha! Thanks. My father in law gave them to me. He came across a box of "old camera stuff" and, knowing that I love the history of photography, decided I might like it. There was the Kodak Instamatic, along with 2 boxes of unused Magicubes. There was also a polaroid 95B, the tiny HIT camera, and a beautiful Argus, and several antique flashes and light meters. I am hoping to photograph more of them soon. There was also film for the Instamatic, and I want to shoot it, but I cannot find a place to develop it, and I'm not sure I'm up for doing it myself....
