265.00 USD

Made by Cram's for the Buffalo Evening News, this scarce vintage world globe would make a cool desk decor accent in your home or office.

The presence of Manchukuo (founded 1932) and Persia (changed to Iran in 1935) dates the globe to the early 1930s. Korea shown as Chosen. Italian Somaliland is present (dissolved 1936), as is Siam, French West Africa, Union of South Africa, Ashanti, Belgian Congo, Indo-China, Palestine, Anglo-Eygpt Sudan, and Netherlands India, an odd designation for the Dutch East Indies.

The small globe has a 7 inch diameter, a scarce size. The vintage globe is mounted on a metal base with a decorative bent steel half meridian. The globe's base advertises the Buffalo Evening News as "Western New York's Greatest Newspaper," and has information on the earth and its place in our solar system. The globe is constructed of paper map gores over pasteboard.

This is an old globe and is was used in its time. There is no time dial at the top (most likely there was one at one time). The paper gores are dust soiled. The globe has dings and scuffs and some paper loss most notably around Antarctica.

Vintage globes make unique gifts!

Globe stands approximately 10 inches on its base.

Serve your Oreos or Chips Ahoy! on this awesome retro gray smoked glass plate. Emblazoned with a gold Nabisco logo, this thick glass dish is the perfect small serving platter for a tea-time snack. The plate is a fun piece of vintage advertising.

Nabisco, formally National Biscuit Company, has one of the most recognizable logos. Its first incarnation dates back to 1898. In the 1950s, the logo got a cleaner, more modern look in keeping with the atomic age. To me, it sort of looks like a mid-century television antenna.

This listing is for one plate. Two plates are available.

Plates are in good vintage with a few minor scratches on the back behind the logo.
