Vintage George F. Cram Co. “Plasti-Lite” illuminated world globe, 10.5", manufactured in Indianapolis, Indiana. This model features silver-blue oceans and a political map layout, produced during a short production window that ended in the 1940s. The globe lights internally, a hallmark of Cram’s Plasti-Lite line.
Constructed with printed map gores over a molded translucent sphere designed for illumination, with a metal meridian and metal base. The silver ocean finish was only produced for a limited period, making this example distinct from later blue-ocean illuminated globes. Its combination of illumination, mid-century cartography, and short-run colorway contributes to its collectibility among vintage globe and lighting objects.
