Vintage 16" Rotating Cram's Imperial World Desk Globe On Brass Tone Metal Stand

This globe is an original vintage (early 1980's) piece, published by George F. Cram Co. in very good condition. It features raised relief mountain ranges, an hour conversion dial on top for comparing global time zones, an Analemma showing the sun's declination for every day of the year, longitude & latitude lines, and so much more. This 12" in diameter globe has a beautiful "antiqued" cream base with states and countries in blues, greens, yellows, and tans. It predates the formation of the Russian Federation (1991) and so has representation of the USSR before it's fall. The base is 7.25" wide. The globe spins smoothly. There is some slight wear which adds to it's vintage charm and does not affect it's functionality, accuracy, or beauty. This comes from a smoke free home.
