Look what someone gave me... an unopened box of Polaroid Type 55.... I used to shoot about 3 boxes per month until they stopped making it. Yahoo!
For those that don't know, this was a film that Polaroid made before their ultimate demise. From one "instant" photo you got a 4x5 inch Polaroid print as well as a very high quality 4x5 negative. You had to put the negative through a sodium sulfite solution to fix the image, then wash, Photo-Flo, and dry. Not sure how many boxes of this I shot back in the '80s, '90s and 00's, but I just about cried when they stopped making it. These have got to be the last 20 sheets of it I'll ever see again... Now what to do with them?

I miss my little Polaroid snaps. Another lovely thing lost to the digital age. *sigh*
