I found one of those, but sadly it's all bashed up so not useable.  It 
does resemble the traditional Polaroid camera, complete with a slot at the 
front for the picture to come out of.

I thought those were Polaroid (ie from the company that used to make the 
instant cameras), but it's hard to follow.  I've certainly seen generic 
things like TV sets or something with the Polaroid name on them.
