Kodak AA-13; Kodak Pony 135 and Pony II instruction books (cameramanuals.org); Historic Camera datasheets; camerapedia. NOTE: the Pony 828 and Pony IV instruction-book scans returned interstitial content only, so those two rows rest on secondary sources rather than on Kodak documents.

Spec Notes
Three dimensions separate it from the otherwise-identical Pony 135 - film format, film advance (roll wind with no rewind against cassette with rewind) and the re-tooled film chamber and back. Same lens and same shutter, which is why it is two rows rather than one row with a format note: the difference is in the body, not the optics. $31.15. The slow end of the shutter is disputed, 1/25 in one source and 1/8 in another, and no speed set is recorded. *** A TRANSCRIPTION HAZARD IN KODAK'S OWN DOCUMENT ***: the AA-13 Pony 828 row reads '1949 1059'. 1059 is not a year; the end is taken as 1959. AA-13 contains typos and should be read against the scan rather than bulk-ingested. DATING: NONE. The CAMEROSITY lens prefix is attested only on Ektar, Anastigmat Special and Anastar lenses. No prefixed EKTANAR or ANASTON serial could be found in Kodak literature, museum records, dealer inventory or auction text, and no source states whether those tiers are inside or outside the scheme - so this camera is NOT datable from its lens. The four-letter body date code that cheap Kodaks carry is not sourced for this model either. DATES ARE MARKET DATES, NOT PRODUCTION. Kodak's own AA-13 heads its columns 'ON THE MARKET FROM / TO', and no Kodak-published production date exists for any camera in this slice - every third-party 'production years' figure checked is a restatement of AA-13.
