Dating from the 1940s, the world globe identifies Kermit Bishop as the cartographer and shows the Belgian Congo, North & South Rhodesia, Indochina, Siam, Burma, Netherlands Indies, Palestine & Israel in the same territory, and West French Africa, a very curious combination of political boundaries as the Netherland Indies was dissolved in 1942 and and Palestine & Israel (which was created in 1948).

This is a genuine vintage globe made in the 1940s as a child's toy. It shows wear and the passing of time including scuffs, dings, dents, paint loss, rust spots, and soiling, all of which give the vintage globe a wonderful decorative patina of age.
