Item Description:
Up for sale is a genuine, vintage World War II-era 12-inch Cram's Universal Terrestrial Globe, manufactured by the George F. Cram Co. in Indianapolis, Indiana. Based on the political boundaries (including the specific Balkan layout and pre-decolonization African colonies like French West Africa and the Belgian Congo), this map dates precisely to the late 1941–1943 era.
Features:
- Size: 12-inch diameter globe ball
- Style: Rare, striking green ocean aesthetic
- Stand: Original mid-century brown metal half-meridian desk mount base
Condition:
- Map Surface: Displays a beautiful vintage patina. There is some minor historic paper loss/scuffing near the North Pole and along the upper meridian track (see close-up photos).
- Structurally: The globe rotates smoothly on its axis, and the metal base is completely sturdy with normal age-related shelf wear.
Perfect for WWII history buffs, vintage office decor, or globe collectors!
