Thanks. That close-up image of the film reel clearly indicates 16mm. It was not necessarily a crucial question, but Markus' point about it being expensive compared to 9.5, for instance, is important. So thanks everyone for the help.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Pathé's 9.5mm was popular because it was cheap and caught on.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But as mentioned, the boss definitely had 16mm—and that meant that he was really monied. It's a small, but important, detail in the film's class discourse. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Judging from the shape of the camera and how he's holding it, it's probably a Bell and Howell. But I think Bolex was making cameras with this vertical profile. </div>

<div>If you really need to figure it out, there are a lot of crazy camera collector pages out there like this one: <a href="https://wichm.home.xs4all.nl/cinelist.html">https://wichm.home.xs4all.nl/cinelist.html</a></div>
