[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2232824, member: 59677"]I have an INS too... also toned a bit brown. I think that's the colorfastness (not) of some Polaroid films. The plot gets more interesting... look at this section of the reverse [IMG]http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b519/BStrauss3/201509-PhotoCerts/DSCN6291-selection_zpso7fciay4.jpg[/IMG] Note the red arrows - there are TWO paper stickers (the entire assembly is in a sealed bag, so for obvious reasons I'm not going to open it). There is a copy of an old Polaroid document that tells how to read the date codes here: [I]tityrus.free.fr/polaroid/integral/Polaroid-Film[B]Code[/B].pdf[/I] But it seems to be from the late 90s. From this, the 3rd letter should be a "W" (Waltham), but it's not. Or an "M" (Queretaro, Mexico), but it's not. And Scotland wasn't open yet and used longer codes. However if this predates Mexico (anyone know when the plant opened), there would have been no reason to specially mark the only plant they had. The 2nd and 3rd letters/numbers could be Os, 0s or Cs and the last one certainly looks like another '5' just a little faint.[/QUOTE]
