Terrestrial Graphic Globe circa 1930

A 4 inch (12 cm) diameter, 20cm tall terrestrial globe circa 1930 with an uncalibrated brass half meridian on turned wood stand with circular base. Poles capped with wood semi-spheres, signed in paper label overlay at south pacific. 12 color lithographed paper gores over pasteboard with polar calottes. Gores rubbed and worn, crack running through equator, some scratches with small areas of paper loss, stand rubbed. A very good example of an interbellum terrestrial globe, showing persia as a separate entity, and delineating french west africa and french indochina, as well as the puppet state of manchuria, and the italian somali coast.
