Film Packaging and Photograph Reference:

The POLAROID 150 was compatible with two kind of POLAROID film which are no longer being manufactured:
Picture
Type 42 roll film
Picture
Type 47 roll film.
Picture
Shot with type 42.
Note that the carrier that dispenses the developer
(normally discarded after use) is still attached. 
This image is probably faded due to the requisite "Film Coater"
not being applied after developing (see below).
Picture
Shot with Type 47.
The convoluted left and right edges incorporated perforations that made possible
the separation of each image from the film roll.

"Film Coater"

Both film types required the application of "Film Coater" to each print shortly after development.  This actually "fixed" the image, to prevent it from fading over time.  Examples where packaged either in glass or plastic tubes containing a disposable squeegee loaded with fixer chemistry.  Normally, this was included with each pack of film.
