It’s geeky decoration for the home or office or the studio! Massdrop, a shopping club that is free to join is offering a series of Inked and Screened Patent Prints going for $17 each with free shipping to US addresses. Because of the way their offers and pricing works, an account is needed to see all the details (it is free to join).

There are a couple of photography-related patents included in this set. Page down on the page to see them all. One is the 1963 Polaroid patent by Herbert A. Bing [Google Patents] and the other is the 1938 “photographic camera” by Gustave Fassin [Google Patents]. Look for these in the image carousel over there.

The prints are size 18×24 inch and they are available in your choice of background: chalkboard (black) or blue or white with a grid. The offer runs for three days and a few hours from today (today = 3/13/18). All sales are FINAL.

These will be printed and shipped to you with estimated shipping date being April 6 in 2018. There is no express shipping option. Massdrop products ship slowly, they are the opposite of Amazon’s Prime and PrimeNOW instant gratification deliveries 🙂

If you don’t want to wait, there are various camera-themed patent-prints at Amazon that are Prime eligible.

PS: if you are a fan of cars/automobiles, they have a separate sale on Automotive Patent Prints going for $14 plus shipping each. This offer runs for six days from today.

The iconic Polaroid patent US 3253528 of 1966 [see Google] is one of the many 18×24 inch prints sold by Massdrop.com for $16 with free shipping to US addresses. You can select this during the checkout process among the various other options.

All sales are final. The orders will ship in late December 2017. If you are not familiar with Massdrop, they are a different type of a website, more of a “shopping club” than a conventional online retailer. They specialize in “Group Buys” like this. You can purchase this for the next four days. Because some of their prices are lower than MAP, you have to create an account and login (free to sign-up) in order to see pricing.
