It's rare to find a black ocean Replogle Starlight globe in the smaller 10 inch diameter size on a classic mid-century modern wire base. Mapped by cartographer Gustav Bruekmann, this vintage globe shows the world as it was circa 1956. The vintage world globe has several very interesting political designations.
Somalia is designated an Italian Trust Territory. Vietnam, although separated into north (purple) & south (green) by color is tagged Indochina. Present day Volgograd is labeled Stalingrad.
The Belgian Congo (1908 - 1960), French West Africa (1895 - 1960) & French Equatorial Africa (1910 - 1959) still exist. Northern Rhodesia and Southern Rhodesia have separate designations, & Bechuanaland (1885 - 1966) is present. Malaya is under British rule (independent 1957).
This is a genuine vintage globe that is over 60 years old. The world globe is in remarkable condition for its age. The surface shows some light soiling and patina.
The globe is made of coated paper gores over pressboard and has a black wire base with red rubber feet to protect your table or desk surface.
The globe has a full chrome metal meridian and a night/day dial at the top. The 10" globe spins freely and swivels in an articulated frame for easy viewing. The chrome shows signs of wear and pitting.
