The original Hawk-eye cameras were box-shaped cameras for 4x5" glass plates, made by the Boston Camera Co. This was absorbed by Blair Camera Co. in 1890, who in turn were taken over by Eastman Kodak in 1899.[1] The Hawk-eye No. 2 was a simple box camera with no adjustments and inexpensive construction. It has a cardboard body (this can be seen in the worn corners of the camera illustrated above). The body is covered with black leatherette and it has a real leather strap on top. They were made from 1913 onwards he Rainbow Hawk-eye was based on the Cartridge Hawk-Eye camera, and was manufactured in a variety of colors, including blue, green, brown, maroon, red and black. The Rainbow Hawk-Eye was Available in the two sizes, No. 2 and 2A. This model No.2 used 120 film, creating images that are 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 inched. To open the camera, you unlatch the two latches, then turn the wind knob while pulling, and it will pull partway out. The back of the camera will then slip off. Both sizes of the Rainbow Hawk-Eye were available in two models, Model B and Model C. The Model B had two viewfinders, the Model C was a simplified version with only one. The shutter is of the simple "guillotine" type. It has just one speed, which sounds like 1/30s. In excellent condition for a 90+ year old box camera, shutter fires and inside is very clean. A true collectors item! This listing is for a very cool vintage Kodak Eastman Rainbow Hawk-Eye No. 2. Model C Box Camera. It is untested but in fantastic retro condition.
