Pathe Baby 9.5mm camera with leather carrying case.

The Pathe Baby 9.5mm cine camera dates from 1923. The film was loaded into small metal 'chargers' which contained around 30 feet of film. This system allowed for much easier film loading, with the charger slotting into the film mechanism. The camera was initially hand cranked, although a clockwork motor drive was available from 1926.
