The Hall Camera Company of 14-18 Dunham Place, Brooklyn, New York manufactured cameras in the late 1900s and early 1910s. It ceased business before 1914, and subsequently sued the Eastman Kodak Company claiming that it had been driven out of business by unfair methods. The $750,000 suit was settled out of court in 1916.
