Vintage 10.5-inch Cram Universal Terrestrial Globe, produced by George F. Cram Co., featuring mid-20th-century country and territorial designations. Constructed with printed paper gores over a spherical core with a metal meridian and metal base, the globe uses vibrant blue oceans and contrasting colors for countries.
Dating between late 1961 and early 1963, the globe reflects geopolitical changes of the period, including Syria and Egypt as separate countries following the dissolution of the United Arab Republic and Aden labeled as a Protectorate prior to its renaming. Its mid-century style and accurate political borders make it a reference piece for historical geography and of interest to collectors of vintage globes.
