Kodak Stereo-Hawk-Eye No.4
The Kodak Stereo-Hawk-Eye No.4 is an early 20th-century stereo plate camera, designed to expose paired images on glass plates for stereoscopic viewing. It belongs to Kodak's Hawk-Eye line of folding and box cameras and was sold as a consumer-grade stereo outfit when stereo photography was a popular pastime.
Auction data for this model is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £380 is recorded in 2014, which sits at wholesale level rather than retail. With only one data point, today's value for a Stereo-Hawk-Eye No.4 in comparable condition is best anchored to that figure, though what one actually sells for in 2026 will hinge on completeness, bellows condition, and the presence of the original case and plate holders.
