The Kodak Instamatic Hawkeye II was not sold in retail stores. It was sold to companies for use as a premium in sales promotions. It is a lower-cost version of the Instamatic 44 without chrome trim and lacking the internal field stop.

The camera in the picture below has a CAMEROSITY code of YASY or 02/1970.

Another similar model is the Brazilian-made Instamatic 11.
