Pathe Webo 9.5mm camera and 2 magazines, c. 1958. With brown leather ever-ready case. One magazine is in the original carton.
This camera takes 50 feet of 9.5mm film in Webo chargers. The camera runs at 16 frames per second and can also expose one frame at a time.
Manufactured 1946-1964. This camera was the result of a collaboration between the Swiss inventor Jean Wesbrodt who brought a prototype to Pathe. The brand name 'Webo' was a combination of Wesbrodt's name and that of Pathe's marketing man, Jacques Broido.
