Description from the seller
Old and rare set of 3 Pathéscope Lamps, for Pathé Baby Film Projectors, model "Baby Ciné", manufactured in the Netherlands in the 1920s. The lamps are 12v and 0.5 Amp (6w), come in the original box, still good and functioning.
Pathé-Baby is an amateur cinema system intended for the general public, created by Charles Pathé and released in 1922. The system used a 9.5 mm wide film with center perforations and was the smallest format that existed at that time. The Pathé-Baby initially was a small hand-cranked projector capable of projecting small films conditioned in a metal cartridge, with capacity for less than a dozen meters of non-flammable film.
To sell and distribute films produced in its studios, Pathé asked the Continsouza company to develop an economical, familiar, easy-to-use projector, in order to project very reduced versions of its films. At Christmas 1922, several thousand Pathé-Baby projectors were placed on the market.
This set is a great addition to any old cinema collection.
