Hi Ben
first, please check the title, I believe it should say Betty BOOP, not BOOB, correct?
Pathescope, Ltd, London, made some theater ad slides with Betty, plus they published a monthly catalog/magazine.
Is the film you have celluloid or paper? I could never find much info on Pathescope, and I'm wondering if you could send a picture of the film and box (if there is one).
I'll see what else I can find, but as far as Boop memorabilia, this could be worth $100 - $500, based on comparable items. There may be a Pathescope market, and this could have a different demand in that market. Let's do some research!

Pathé introduced 9.5mm at the end of 1922 in attempt to bring the magic of the movies to the home. Just a few months later, Kodak released their first amateur gauge 16mm. However, Pathé had the advantage of being first into the field with the gauge now called Pathéscope. "Le Cinema Chez Soi" was the slogan used to herald the introduction of the gauge in France. Originally, Pathé intended the gauge to be a means of presenting commercially made Silent Films in the home.

I have a 1932-34 8mm silent black and white film from Flieschers Studios titled Betty Boop Stopping The Show. On the film it has her with a heart. The film number is
s/qevaert/belgium. Also on the film is W.C. Fields. I have been interested in selling this
film but have not been able to find any listing at any archive including the missing film
archive. I contacted Cowan Auctions in Cincinnati, Ohio who refered me to Profiels in
History. They indicated this film is of no value. Is there any possibility that you could
direct me on how to find more information on its historic background and if there is an
auction or selling possibility.
