Pathe Baby projector with film cartridge and painted gold wooden frame with print of Pathe-Baby logo and label reading "Golden Jubilee 1922-1972".

This amateur home movie projector was hand-cranked and took up to 60 feet of 9.5mm film in the Pathé magazines (or chargers) fitted at the top of the machine. The film fed into the chamber at the bottom and could be rewound using the small crank handle at the top. The projector had a low voltage electric bulb, housed in the lamphouse to the left of the crank handle.
