Description
A Replogle 12-inch diameter terrestrial globe from the World Nation Series. The globe is constructed of printed paper gores over a spherical base and is mounted within a brass-toned metal meridian ring on a matching circular metal pedestal base. The globe features a printed cartouche reading REPLOGLE 12 INCH DIAMETER GLOBE, World Nation, SERIES, REPLOGLE GLOBES, © MEREDITH CORPORATION, Made in U.S.A., Le Roy M. Tolman, Cartographer. The cartography shows historical political boundaries including the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Vietnam, and Ceylon.
The meridian ring is embossed with a degree scale from 0 to 90. The map includes a detailed legend for international, state, and other boundaries, steamship routes, shelf ice, and ocean currents. A population scale is provided based on symbol types, and the natural scale is listed as 1:41,849,600. A metal time dial is located at the North Pole.
Condition report:
The globe exhibits a significant vertical crease and surface abrasion running through the Atlantic Ocean (photo 2). Multiple small brown spots, likely foxing or localized staining, are scattered across the surface, particularly in the Pacific Ocean near the cartouche and near the equatorial line (photos 4 and 5). The surface shows general yellowing and discoloration consistent with age. There is some surface wear and minor scuffing to the brass-toned metal base and meridian ring. Minor alignment gaps are visible at the seams of the paper gores.
