Pathé Webo M (or Super 16) 16mm clockwork cine camera, likely manufactured in France in the mid-to-late 1950s or 1960s. It is a classic piece of French cinema engineering, highly regarded for its distinctive design and a unique set of features that made it popular among semi-professional and advanced amateur filmmakers of its era.

The Pathé Webo M is often compared to the Swiss Bolex cameras, and for good reason—it shares a similar philosophy of compact, mechanical, and versatile design. The body is constructed from cast aluminum with a distinctive gray-green "vermiculate" (hammerite) paint finish, which gives it a rugged, industrial look that has aged remarkably well.

Weighing in at just under 6 lbs (around 2.7 kg), it is a solid but manageable camera for handheld use. The build quality is generally considered good, though not indestructible; the internals are described as "well made" but also "delicate," requiring careful handling, especially when servicing. The leather strap on the example in your photos adds to its vintage character.
