Pathe Freres Pathe Kid
The Pathe Kid is a small French cine camera made by Pathe Freres, a Paris-based firm active in early film and amateur cinematography. It was offered as an entry-level home-movie device rather than a professional instrument, and survives today mainly as a collector's curiosity.
Sales data is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from August 2024 saw a Pathe Kid sell for £30, with no other recorded results to establish a meaningful range or median. On that basis the value today sits in the low tens of pounds at saleroom level, though one data point cannot reliably price the model and condition or completeness of original fittings would shift what any individual example sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
