Vintage Replogle Precision Globe with Rotating Zodiac Constellation Base

$300.00

Replogle 12″ Precision Globe showing the relation of the Sun to the Earth, given the month of the year, and displaying day and nighttime periods.
Features a pasteboard globe with bodies of water in green and landmasses in red, yellow, taupe, and peach mounted to a painted aluminum base with blue metal insert detailing the seasons, zodiacs, constellations, and months.
Good, vintage condition showing paper losses/soiling/gouges throughout (particularly to the equatorial regions and a few land masses) and one dent (see Canada) to globe itself. Base shows some black paint losses and a small dent. By design, the globe isn’t attached to the frame at the top, despite a presence of a hole suggesting that there would be a bracket connecting the two. The lower axis supports the globe and rotation is controlled by manually spinning the blue disk (see video). Ca. 1952/1953 (Korea and Israel present; Libya Independent).
H: 15.25″ x L: 13″ x D: 12″
