Photo-Me Model 9
circa 1946
The Model 9 and 11 looked very similar on
the outside but there was a big difference
on the inside! The Model 9 had complicated
timer gears on the camera and only a single
carrier allowing for only 1 photostrip to be
developed at a time.
The Model 11 & 11A did away with alot of
the giant mechanical gears using solenoids
instead. The Spider was introduced allowing
the machine to develop 7 sets of pictures.
Photo-Me Model 10
Photo-Me Model 11
commercial machine
circa 1955
While the Model 9 & 11 were for
commercial use featuring a coin
acceptor, the Model 10 and 11A
were developed for businesses,
specifically the Government &
Military for ID purposes. The pictures
were taken by a second person
using an external button instead of
coins and the subject had time to
change positions for 4 different
photos.
