3 Kodak Instant Cameras – 2 Pleaser & 1 Handle – Vintage Lot, 1977–1982

This lot includes three original Kodak instant cameras from the company’s short-lived foray into instant photography, produced between 1977 and 1982. Included are two “Pleaser” models and one “The Handle” (EK2) — all proudly Made in the USA.

The Pleaser cameras feature a tan plastic body, textured brown lens housing, and vivid orange-and-silver aluminum faceplates with Kodak branding. They use Kodak PR10 instant film and offer a simple user interface with exposure control (“Lighten/Darken”) and manual film ejection via a crank.

The Handle camera — a variation of the Kodak EK2 — offers a more contemporary off-white and black casing with a distinctive blue faceplate, built-in battery test button, and matching exposure dial. It also uses PR10 film and manual ejection.

These models represent Kodak’s attempt to rival Polaroid’s dominance in instant photography, a venture that ultimately ended in legal disputes and production shutdowns. Today, they serve as highly collectible display items or restoration projects for vintage tech enthusiasts.
