Polaroid Land camera, ~1950. Found it after my grandparents passed. Never tried using it, it's just neat.
They're a lot of fun if you can get the film. Some company reverse engineered it and then went out of business, but I think there are still options if you're willing to pay $2 a photo.
Polaroid is making a comeback. You can get film in Walmart now.
There's a neat video showcase of their process/factory on YouTube. Forgot which channel made it but think something like veritasium/sed
They actually made a LEGO Polaroid camera. Should be coming out next year?
Not sure if this is the one you're referring to, but NileRed made a video on this:

Smarter Every Day did a film factory tour series, I think it was Kodak. He's got some cool film photography videos.
