My name is Lori and although I am not a collector of globes I have had a globe in my possession that I had never really consideread selling until recent. The only one that I can find on the internet that matches exact is a 1932 16 inch replogle terrestrial globe with walnut floor stand. I am not certain of its value as the one on the internet is priced so high 22000. Unfortunately globe collectors in my area RI are far and few between.

I'll beg to differ with you about globe size, as clearly detail suffers with smaller sizes, and I'm after detail, man. I came to globes from maps, and the history in detail is what thrills me. Just as the names on globes is fascinating (St. Petersburg or Leningrad or ? Congo Free State or Belgian Congo?) And that is also why I have a strong bias for 19th century globes. Yes, they are expensive, but the history...From The Crow's Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315022767316842504noreply@blogger.com
