Blair
The Blair Camera Co. was an American camera maker based in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1879 it was Blair Tourograph Co., named after a camera type introduced in 1878. In 1890 it bought another Boston-based camera maker, the Boston Camera Company. From this company it took over the "Hawk-Eye" box camera series. In 1899 Blair became a division of Kodak. It was relocated to Rochester, New York, the home of Kodak. First the Hawk-Eye cameras were continued by Blair, later the camera type name was reused by Kodak for several later camera types.
