The very retro, space age design of the globe is completed with a golden finished metal base. Politically a true witness of the Cold War Era, as the map identifies a separated Germany. Until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the German “Volk” was divided by the Iron Curtain. Also notable is the display of the United Arab Republic (UAR) in Egypt. A divided Vietnam (1954-75) documents another war struck conflict. Rhodesia has gained independence (1965), Botswana, Gambia and Leshoto are not recognized yet (1966). The pasteboard 12 “diameter globe is removable from its space age metal base. Total height is about 15.5 inches. Colors are bold, details crisp. There is minor corrosion to the gold finished metal base. Minor, age appropriate scuffing to the orb. No matter if for its exquisite mid century style or political display, this globe is a guaranteed conversation starter. A feast for the eyes and the mind! Enjoy sharing the history of the space age and cold war era with your children and Grandchildren! $365 — Item #: 511RMCN65 - SOLD
