Vintage World Globe - Antique Cast Iron Still Bank - Antique World Globe - Miniature Globe - Antique Toy Bank - Denoyer Geppert Globe by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

495.00 USD

This small still globe bank overlaid with Denoyer Geppert paper gores is a super scarce find. The antique world globe would make an unusual and rare addition to your collection.

Made by the Miller Bank Service, the advertising globe has an enameled plaque at the North Pole stating "Gibraltar Savings & Building Association." The vintage globe is marked in the Indian Ocean:
Pat. Applied For
Miller Bank Service
Chicago
Map by
Denoyer Geppert Co.

The Denoyer Geppert globe gores show brown spotting and discoloration typical of paper that has been pasted over metal. The browning obscures some of the globe's features. With a magnifying loupe and a close look you can identify the Japanese Empire, Constantinople in Turkey, Leningrad (changed from Saint Petersburg in 1924), and much more.

There are some spots of paper loss most notably on the Southern Hemisphere just below the Equator in the Pacific Ocean.

The miniature hollow metal orb easily comes off its metal spindle which is mounted on a what appears to be a heavily vanished wooden base.

There are a few coins rattling around inside the globe bank. To maintain the integrity of this antique globe bank in its found condition, I have not tried to separate the orb to retrieve the coins.

18.95 USD

This solid copy of Edward Bulwer Lytton's Alice or the Mysteries was published by John Wanamaker, the famous Philadelphia department store, circa 1920. First published at the dawn of the Victorian era, Alice is a sequel to Lytton's Ernst Maltravers.

Popular in his day and known for his "purple prose," Lord Lytton coined what is possibly the most often quoted opening line of a novel, "It was a dark and stormy night," as well as the phrase, "The pen is mightier than the sword."

The vintage book shows obvious wear from the passage of time and use. The top of the spine is fraying and the paper is tanning. There are various pencil marks on the front endpapers as well as an old sticker address sticker.
