The clean streamline, almost minimalist design features of the mounting makes this piece to be a favorite among Deco as well as Mid Century Modern collectors.

While most Globe manufactures were located in Chicago, C.S. Hammonds & Co preferred the East Coast of the US, in Brooklyn and later expanding into New York and Boston.

The orb is covered with 12 individual paper gores. The cartouche is printed on the gore, not applied afterwards. This indicates the gores to have been printed in the US, not imported (as it was common in the 1920’s and 30’s) from England. The mounting consists of a hollow aluminum half meridian with black detail and a black stepped bakelite base, featuring silver details. Approx 14.5 Tall, 12" Diameter.

In good condition with age appropriate rubbing and scuffing .Colors are vivid, details crisp, some uneven aging of the patina. The mounting is in excellent condition with only minimal wear.

The age of the globe has been identified by the political borders displayed: Persia is displayed instead of Iran (chg. 1935). Manchuria in China is shown to be occupied by Japan and shown as Manchuokuo (1932-45).
