The Hawkeye Pocket Instamatic was a plastic camera which used the 110 cartridge film and was produced from 1973 to 1979. It had a sliding film advance button on the bottom of the camera which was cycled using the operator's thumb. There was a socket on the top of the camera for MagiCubes. The camera measures 4 1/2" wide x 1" tall x 2 1/8" deep. Weight was 3 and 1/2 ounces.
It operates without the need for batteries. When purchased new, the camera came packaged with a 12 exposure roll of Kodak Kodacolor II color film, 1 MagiCube, a wrist strap and an extender to raise the flash up higher above the film plane. When first marketed, it retailed for $24.95.
Other than this model used flashcubes, it is quite similar to the Kodak Winner, Kodak Gimini, Kodak Trimlite Instamatic 18, Kodak Kids Camera, My First Camera and the abortive Kodak Galactic, all of which employed a flipflash.
