The Polaroid Self Timer #192 complete with directions on the back of the box.
Ahhhh! The Polaroid Self Timer model #192 described by one user as the sound of a swarm of angry bees. What I love most about this Polaroid accessory is its close resemblance to something from the Apollo Astronauts’ space suit circa 1969.
This all mechanical and all metal device (Made in Japan) fits snuggly over the shutter button of a Polaroid 100 – 400 series folding pack camera. Turning the small knob sets the mechanical timer for anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds. That’s just enough time to race across the room, sit on the couch, smile, and adjust one’s hair before,
For use with all Polaroid Color Pack Cameras except with the Model 180. That’s why I’m holding out on buying a Polaroid 180.

These timers show up all the time on eBay, Amazon, Etsy, and just about anywhere else selling used camera equipment. Their prices vary so don’t pay a lot for one. You might give Option 8 a try as well. I purchased mine through eBay complete with the cardboard box and plastic case. I don’t remember how much I paid, but it’s had some use as can be seen in the photos below.
Just as I sat down, my sons and I bumped heads at the same time the shutter clicked. This is one of my favorite photos.
