Description
A vintage terrestrial world globe from the World Ocean series by Replogle Globes. The globe features a paper-covered surface with textured raised relief to represent mountain ranges and land elevations. The cartography provides detailed political and geographical information, including city populations, steamship routes with distances, and bathymetric data of the ocean floor such as ridges, basins, and trenches. The globe is mounted within a brass-finished metal meridian ring graduated in degrees and sits on a circular dark brown painted metal base. The mapping was designed by cartographer Leroy M. Tolman.

Condition report:
The metal meridian ring is completely fractured and separated at the top mounting point near the North Pole. The globe surface shows age-related wear, including areas of staining, discoloration, scuffing, and minor surface grime. There are visible abrasions and small losses to the paper surface, particularly along the seam lines near the South American coast. The brass-toned finish on the meridian and time dial displays oxidation, pitting, and finish wear. The metal base has surface scratches and paint loss.
