Research
Kodak AA-13 'History of KODAK Cameras' (model-name strings, market dates, film sizes), transcribed VERBATIM from BOTH surviving scans - pacificrimcamera.com/rl/01541 and brownie-camera.com/manuals/aa13.pdf - across nine differently worded passes, publishing only what was stable. Kodak US product catalogues 1932-33 (rl/00153), 1933-34 (00155), 1935-36 (00157), Jul-1937 (00160), Oct-1938 (00163), Oct-1939 (00165), 1940 (00166), Spring/Summer 1952 (01856), Winter 1956 (02403). Kodak instruction books (cameramanuals.org) and the Pacific Rim instruction-book index ax41, whose titles name factory lens-and-shutter pairings verbatim. Science Museum Group and George Eastman Museum object records. Pacific Rim dealer object records transcribing engraved lens and shutter names. historiccamera, camerapedia (Fandom mirror; camera-wiki.org is blocked by robots.txt), Blue Moon Camera, jollinger, mikeeckman, earlyphotography.

Spec Notes
The Series II is folded in as a generation on the same evidence as the Six-16 - see that row. This is the longest-lived camera in the slice: AA-13 runs it to 1948, six years past the Six-16 twin, and a Kodak instruction book dated 1946 survives. AA-13 MIRROR DISCREPANCY: the Pacific Rim scan prints a comma, 'JIFFY KODAK Six-20, Series II Camera'; the brownie-camera scan has none. No comma used here. DATING: NONE EXISTS FOR THIS CAMERA. No Kodak serial-to-year table was ever published for any Rochester body, and the CAMEROSITY lens code runs only from about 1940 and only on Ektar, Anastigmat Special and Anastar lenses - none of which this camera was sold with in a year the code was in use.
