The Hawkeye brand (or Hawk-Eye as it was originally called) was aquired by Kodak in 1907 when they bought out the Blair camera company (who in turn had bought out the Boston Camera Company in 1890). In all 78 Kodak cameras carried the Hawkeye name, 7 used 127 film, but here we're only interested in the 4 hawyeye box cameras, produced around 1938. Like many of the Hawkeye range these were designated as "Premium" cameras, indicating they were used as promotional items, typically given away.
The four Hawkeye box cameras are all virtually identical - being so primitive as to lack even a viewfinder. Framing is attempted by the use of the pull out wire loop. They can however be differentiated in two ways - The ace models have texturing on their front face, while the "deluxe" models have lugs for a strap. Clearly we're operating at the low end of the market here.
These trivial diferences are enough to give us four models:
| Smooth Face | Textured Face | |
|---|---|---|
| No Lugs | Baby Hawkeye | Hawkeye Ace |
| With Lugs | Hawkeye | Hawkeye Ace Deluxe |
Using this information we can identify the above camera as a Hawkeye Ace Deluxe, even though it's not labeled as such.
