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.
