Great Grandma's Camera!
Hawk-eye with the HYPHEN

A Real Kodak Hawk-Eye Camera!
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.

1878-1929 George Eastman was one of the first to demonstrate the great convenience of gelatin dry plates over the cumbersome and messy wet plate photography prevalent in his day. Dry plates could be exposed and developed at the photographer's convenience; wet plates had to be coated, exposed at once, and developed while still wet. George Eastman died, leaving his entire residual estate to the University of Rochester. In 1949, his Rochester home was opened as an independent public museum - The International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House.

Would make an AWESOME gift!
Uses Kodak 120 film....I have no film.
I have no way of knowing if this works, but the bevels are in excellent condition.

Oh my gosh, this is a GREAT auction!! I collect vintage cameras (& handbags)...if I had the credits I would for sure bid and especially if it actually works. I have a friend that can get film for me fairly cheap.
I was just curious, if no one bids, would you be interested in sale-ing it? If so, what would you like for it?
Please, message me if you think that maybe something you'd consider. If not, I understand... Sorry you are having to get rid of your great grandma's camera.
Just know if I were the one to have the honor of getting it, it would come to a person that would truly love it & take great care of it. I had to give/sale a few things my grandma give me (no make more space in my home), it was very difficult but I tried to give to people that would really love them. After all, no one wants to go to a Cracker Barrel and see their love ones item on display (lol)!!!
Again, great auction and have a blessed day!!!
