Kodak Vest Pocket Rainbow Hawk-Eye

The Kodak Vest Pocket Rainbow Hawk-Eye is a small folding roll-film camera from the early 20th century, sized to slip into a pocket. It belonged to Kodak's budget-friendly Hawk-Eye line and was offered in coloured body finishes, which is the origin of the "Rainbow" designation.

Auction interest sits at the entry level of the collectable folding-camera market: the only verified UK saleroom record to hand is a £62 hammer price from January 2026, so today's working value at auction sits around the low-to-mid £60s. Because that is a single hammer result rather than retail, what a Vest Pocket Rainbow Hawk-Eye is worth in the current auction market can swing materially with body colour, condition of the leatherette, and whether the original box is present.
