1940s Rand McNally Celestial / Astrological Globe on Bakelite Base

This unique Celestial globe was designed by Rand McNally in the 1940s and edited by Dr. Oliver J. Lee (as indicated on the globe itself). It depicts mythological zodiac characters and traditional constellations as light blue outlined figures and yellow dots, respectively, against a deep blue ‘night sky.’ The bakelite ‘cradle’ base is in excellent, vintage condition; the globe shows loss and wear in several places.
