It's not a cigarette case. I've shown it in the folded position. Here's another photo.

Think of it as a non audio recording device that makes records of discrete moments in time,instantly.

Each film pack contained it's own integral battery,which powered all camera functions.

Diving in with a guess here; the Polaroid Land Camera.

All Polaroid cameras were known as Polaroid land cameras. This one is a folding SLR design. It was one of the most technically advanced cameras on the world when it was introduced in the early 1970's.

Ok, looks like the Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera.

Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera

Kevin can have this if he wants, btw. I don't have anything much to challenge with at the moment. Just couldn't resist the quick search and reply with all those clues to work with.

Dredging the depths of memory, I think Land was the name of the guy who invented them.
