Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic II 1969-1975

The Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic II camera was produced from 1969 to 1975. The Hawkeye II is a restyled version of the Kodak Instamatic 44 that was being produced around the same time, the biggest difference being that the Instamatic 44 had an original list price of $9.95, the most inexpensive of all cameras in the Kodak Instamatic line.

Fun Fact: The Hawkeye II was never sold

at retail stores. It was produced to be used in promotions for other products – including Scott Paper Towels. The idea was to give away the camera, while creating a continuing demand for Kodak film.
