Kodak Hawkeye:

Kodak Hawkeye Cameras
In the USA and Canada the word "Hawk-Eye" was hyphenated until the late 1930's. Apart from the Brownie Hawkeye, the brand name wasn't used again until the 1960's, when it was spelt as one word, as it often was in the UK. Many Hawkeye cameras were used as promotional or "premium" items, often by third-party companies, to encourage customers to take advantage of their goods or services. Inevitably these models are usually of relatively limited specification. Some cameras include the word "cartridge" in the model name. This is because a roll of film was considered to look like a shotgun cartridge and also to help differentiate between similar cameras that used plates or Film Packs.

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 1927-1939, including models designed in and for the UK

The Hawkeye disc 7000 was probably the last Hawkeye camera to be produced by Kodak.

Folding types:

No 2 Folding Cartridge Hawkeye model B USA 1926-1934

No 2A Folding Hawkeye model B USA 1926-1934

No.2A Folding Cartridge Hawkeye Model B, Built in Richmond NY and fitted with a two speed shutter in front of the lens, but behind the fully adjustable iris, this camera is fitted with a reflecting pivoting viewfinder. Focussing can be preset at either 8 feet or 100 feet.name: lens: Variousshutter: No.1 Kodex,  film type: 116. picture size: 6.5 x 11 cm

 

No 2 Folding Cartridge Hawkeye model C USA 1930-1934

No. 2 Folding cartridge Hawkeye camera Model C  Rollfilm 120 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches. With meniscus type achromatic lens, iris diaphragms under the numbers 1-3. Shutter on three point bayonet mount. Sliding focusing with preset stops. Reflecting rotating view finder on base board. The name of this camera seems a bit long and complex. Each of its terms refers to a specific characteristic of it. For example, folding refers to a folding camera. The term cartridge indicates that it uses a film on a roll, in this case reference 120 that allows taking photofraphs in a 6x9 (6x9 centimeters) format, very appropriate for making enlarged copies of photographs from their negative. nr 31263 (F-1-2)

Manufactured between 1926 and 1934 by Eastman Kodak Co. A folding camera for 2-1/4x4-1/4 inch negatives on 116 film. It had twin struts and a pull out bed. This example has a Hawk-Eye f/8 lens set in a Kodex No. 1 T-B-25-50 shutter.

Folding Hawkeye six-20  model C, USA 1930

Folding Hawk-Eye Six-20 Model C
This Rochester-made camera is not the Hawk-Eye Pliant Six-20 Model C John T. Addison makes reference to as an export model in his Catalogue of Hawk-Eye Cameras. I can find no reference to it anywhere, though it would appear identical, other than for a change of name, to the Brownie Pliant Six-20, even the film recommendation decal inside is the same.

 

No 2 Folding Filmpack Hawkeye , USA 1933

No.2 Folding Film Pack Hawk-Eye, One of only two Hawk-Eye cameras listed by Addison to use Film Packs, the model identification is inside the back cover. There are three focus pre-sets on the base-board, a bit of clever engineering making the intermediate position the default when the camera is opened. The reflecting viewfinder pivots for use in "landscape" or "portrait" mode and two tripod sockets are fitted
