This 32" diameter illuminated Replogal Library Globe features a very unique MCM style mahogany four-legged base and "touch on/off" feature with three levels of brightness, making it a stunning addition to any office, home library, den, etc. The style and electrical plug would suggest that it dates to the 1950/1960 era.
A review of Replogal's website states that this is "the world’s most detailed globe, abounding with over 28,000 place names. Most globes list no more than 4,000 locations, but at 32″ across, this virtuosic achievement in cartography holds enough detail to spark any geography lover’s imagination. It required more than 40 man hours to complete the ball, the hand cut and hand-applied topographic map radiates with its ocean and six color political demarcations even when not illuminated from within. The solid brass meridian has been hand-engraved and calibrated every degree."
