Kodak Hawk-Eye Cameras

The Boston Camera Company was the original owner of the Hawk-Eye camera until the Blair Camera Company bought them in 1890. Hawk-Eye cameras then changed hands again in 1907 when Eastman Kodak bought Blair which was then changed into a division of Kodak called the Blair Camera Division after the plant was relocated to Rochester, NY. the cameras continued to be produced as Hawk-Eyes but after the end of World War One most of these were made for premium sales only and unfortunately were not always listed in catalogues.
Some models were made in the UK from 1927-39, including models designed in and for the UK. The No 2 Hawkette was the first all plastic Kodak camera.
The hyphen was dropped from the name making Hawk-Eye into Hawkeye for later models.
Only the 78 Hawk-Eye camera models made by Kodak are listed below.
