The seller has added the wrong picture.
Even it was the correct picture, a 9.5mm Pathe Baby could hardly be described as new!

It is indeed a wrong picture. I asked the seller if he was selling a Buckingham or a Pathé Baby and pointed out that the picture shows a 16 mm projector. I got a reply saying the item sold is a Pathé Baby and the picture is wrong (and will be replaced).
