Well its a Pho-Tak eagle eye 120 box camera. I don't know anything about it at all other than it seems to be pretty rare. |

The Eagle Eye was made around 1953. It is one of zillions of cheap generic stamped metal box cameras to come off assembly lines of the era. The same camera was sold under the names Macy 120, Marksman, Spectator Flash, Trailblazer 120, Traveler 120 and possibly others.
Rare? As the price guide says, it is rare enough to be worth "$1. to $10. depending on condition".
Don't know why that eBay seller is lying but it is very definitely not from the 1920s and it is not 6x7 format. It is the standard 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 format. |

yah I thought it was weird though that there isn't a ton of information around on it. It is not the same as a traveler 120 or Trailblazer it seems to be in fact even more simple than those lol. |
