The Pathe Baby is an early home-cinema motion-picture camera made by Pathé Frères of France, designed for the 9.5mm amateur film format that Pathé introduced in the 1920s. It was sold as a compact, hand-cranked outfit aimed at domestic users rather than professionals.

Sales evidence for the Pathe Baby is thin: a single 2025 UK auction hammer of £20 is the only recorded data point, so today's value sits at the low end of the collectables market rather than reflecting any premium. As a wholesale saleroom result that figure excludes commission, and dealer or retail asking prices for clean, complete outfits typically run higher than what the camera sells for at auction.
