This isn't the first time I've seen this style table on what looks like a Hawk saw.. in fact.. I just seen another one tonight that was labeled a Hawk 226 with that same style table.. Maybe real early models?

Last few photos is the Hawk I seen..

Never seen it and I do not believe that the ones with the tennis ball are Hawks. I have watched Hawk saws since they came out. Now the ones with the barrel clamps is a yes. The others maybe a knock off. They were always red as far as I remember. The blue ones were made by GLENDO CORP. in Kansas. Here is what it says in the ad. These were around $800 new. I've never used this one. 
manufactured by GLENDO CORP. in Emporia, Ks. My dad was the shop mgr. and asked if I wanted to buy the last one. They were manufactured for Heartland by GLENDO, a custom fab. shop.

Well I do know there are in fact blue Hawks as well as Green.. I've seen them myself.. and no they were not a repainted restore.. In fact.. Hawk did sell under another name too.. Most of these was sent to other countries but there are a few I've run up on.. I wish I had saved the pictures I had of one that I looked at last year.. I hadn't heard of this Glendo made one and it's so similar that I had to ask.. if anyone else knew anything about them..

 The thing that is odd about the red Hawk is the table shape. I can not remember seeing that shape on a Hawk. I did not realize this bit of history. Never seen any other color. Probably did that because there was a call for those saws there. They were made by RBI with the different motor and that maybe the reason why they chose a different color to designate the difference. Anyone buys one need to be aware of that. That blue one is a knock off and who knows how many were even made. Not sure about patents back then and if that was even legal. Today you see so many saws that look like they come off the same line but with a different color. 

I find this interesting. Would love to see a few of these. . In the early 1980s RBI released a series of scroll saws including the Falcon, Eagle, Condor, and Hawk

The more I look into this it seems RBI made scrollsaws for Woodmaster too and they were blue. https://offerup.com/item/detail/30152089/
