Almost antique, this 12" globe shows a different world, before the aftermath of WWII re-drew much of Europe and the Middle East. From Repogle, which was founded in 1930 by Luther Repogle, a school supply salesman whose battle cry became "A globe in every home!" The first globes were put together by Luther and his wife Elizabeth in their Chicago apartment. The Depression stifled business at first, but business boomed when WWII broke out, and FDR recommended that every house have a globe on hand to consult during his radio addresses. Today the company is renowned for hand-made globes of all types, still produced in their factory in Chicago. This piece has a full iron meridian to identify degrees of longitude, carved acanthus leaf wooden base, and fabulously detailed lion's paw caps on the four legs. Needs stabilizing at the top of the stand. For some in-depth history of Repogle, and lots of vintage pix, see https://replogleglobes.com
