Blair Cameraco. Focusing Weno Hawk-Eye No.3
The Blair Cameraco. Focusing Weno Hawk-Eye No.3 is an early box-form roll-film camera produced by the Blair Camera Co., a US maker active before its absorption into Eastman Kodak. It dates from the turn of the 20th century, when the Hawk-Eye name covered a range of simple wooden box cameras aimed at amateur photographers.
Auction evidence for the Focusing Weno Hawk-Eye No.3 is thin: the only logged UK saleroom result is a single hammer price of £150 from November 2023, so any sense of what one is worth today rests on that lone data point. As a wholesale auction figure (excluding buyer's and seller's commission) it suggests collectors currently value clean examples around the £150 mark, but with so little turnover the price a given example sells for can move sharply with condition and completeness.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Blair Focusing Weno Hawk-Eye No.3 worth today?
On the only recorded UK auction sale, one example sold for £150 hammer in late 2023, so that figure is the best current reference for value, though a single result is not a reliable guide on its own.
How much does a Focusing Weno Hawk-Eye No.3 sell for at auction?
The sole logged hammer price is £150, achieved at a UK saleroom; with only one data point, the price any individual camera sells for will depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day.
Is the Blair Focusing Weno Hawk-Eye No.3 a rare camera?
It appears infrequently in UK auction records — only one verified sale is on file in the data reviewed — which points to limited turnover rather than confirming any specific level of rarity.
