Antique Vintage Pathex Pathe Baby 9. 5 Mm Film Electric Movie Projector

Pathex was the trade name of Pathe Exchange, Inc., Pathe's US subsidiary. In America, film exchanges distributed movie releases to theaters. The 9.5 mm format was introduced in America for Christmas of 1925 (Model D projectors). A lot of money was spent but Kodak, with 16 mm and then 8 mm, blew Pathe 9.5 mm out of the North America market. The Great Depression did not help, by 1932 it was over. In 1935 the remaining Pathex 9.5 inventory was sold to M.H. Schoenbaum of Plainfield, NJ who carried on a film/parts business thru the 40's.

This projector has an attached magnifying lens.
