About the Item

Rare art deco WWII military strategy chalk teaching globe by Denoyer-Geppert with period chrome stand, circa 1940s. The globe is in good condition with original paint; there are several dents and dings on the sphere. The globe is attached to a beautiful chrome stand and measures 22"D x 55"H with the base of the stand being 14"D. I am not sure if the stand was a later addition or not; they do look great together! The piece is an awesome artifact of US Military History! #3103 Rare Circa 1930 steel Denoyer-Geppert Military Strategy Teaching Globe. n very good condition. About Denoyer-Geppert Military Instructional Globe: One of the company’s most celebrated globes was a 22-inch wartime model made from industrial, hollow-spun metal with a minimalist three-color look: blue water, black land masses, gold outlines. Besides being exceptionally AWESOME, it was also the favored globe at many military bases, as officers could write on it with chalk—hence the name, “Slated Outline Activity Globe.” About Denoyer-Geppert: Before selling their globe and map-making assets to Rand McNally in 1984, Denoyer-Geppert had logged a solid 68 years in that industry—most of them spent at the same aesthetically charming map factory in Edgewater: 5235 N. Ravenswood Avenue (former home of the Swedish-American Telephone Co. and now a landmark on the National Register of Historic Places). The company left that plant for good after the McNally sale, but they stayed in business, relocating to Skokie and re-emerging as the Denoyer-Geppert Science Company—a leading manufacturer of human anatomical models for advanced classroom and laboratory use. Their current Skokie headquarters is actually just a few miles down the road from Rand McNally’s, but that old rivalry lost its teeth long ago.
