We are offering a fine 12" Standard Globe by Replogle, displaying the political borders of c 1942, at the height of WW2. In addition to presenting an interesting political map, note the very fine mounting! The cast iron full meridian and globe can be removed from the base for closer viewing. The base offers very attractive and well maintained deco/ nouveau details in a two tone copper and bronze finish. About the manufacture: Replogle 1930 - current Chicago Luther Replogle, a former sales rep for Weber Costello, began making globes in his basement with imported British map gores. The breakthrough for his company occurred in 1932, when he obtained the contract to produce commerative globes for the worlds fair in Chicago in 1933, distributed by by Marshall Fields & Co. During WW2 Replogle did not keep up with the constant change of political borders and continued printing the maps of 1939 through the early 1940's . However, to encourage customers to continue purchasing his globes, he offered coupons for globes to be updated for a minimal fee once WW2 has ended and political borders have been established. In the 1950's Reploge ventured out into producing a few very unique globes, such as the Surprise Globe, the Wonder World as well as a Magnetic Air Race Globe Game and the Quiz Globe. It was an attempt to expand sales into the toy market while competing with well known Children's Tin Globe makers such as J.Chein and Ohio Art. Today Replogle is one of the worlds largest Globe manufacture. Description: The Globe itself is of card board, covered with paper representing the map.Mounting consists of a full meridian sitting on a fork, which is mounted to a metal base in a bronze and copper two-tone finish finish. The map on this globe is very detailed and includes highways as of c 1942 Condition: The Globe is in good condition for its age. Details of the legend are crisp, colors are vivid. Some soiling is visible as well as scuffing, rubbing on the equatorial band as well as the area around the South Pole, please see pictures.The mounting is in fine condition, no cracks or rust or chipping of color.
