12” Peerless by Weber Costello With Black Oceans and Airplane Base c1946

A fine example of quite possibly the most popular vintage globe produced in the 20th century.

The chrome finish combined with the black oceans and vivid colored lands provides a dramatic display in any setting. A classic Weber Costello and a staple of any globe collection.

The orb is made of pasteboard, offering black oceans instead of the more common blue/green. Half meridian and airplane base are made of metal with a chrome finish. Total height approx 16", 12" diameter

Well preserved condition. The colors are exceptionally vivid. Equator tape complete. Chrome base in mint condition. Light rubbing to orb.

The age of the globe has been identified by the political borders displayed: Israel has not yet replaced Palestine (1948), Korea not yet shown to be divided (1953). Gold Coast (Pre 1957)
