About the Item
Machine Age-style A.J. Nystrom of Chicago Military or Activity Globe composed of a spun metal blue orb with green slated land masses outlined in yellow. These globes were used by the military and NASA, in addition to serving as geographical learning tools for classrooms (hence the lack of identifying information on the land masses). They were intended to be written on using chalk.
This example (circa 1940s) is in very nice condition for its age with only a single spot of dimpling and minor scuffs and scratches throughout in addition to the heavy patina / oxidation to the metal base. Uniquely adjustable by means of the semi-circular meridian ring (the globe can be manually shifted in a downward or upward direction along the meridian). Often this meridians are worn to the point that they are no longer capable of sliding in a 180 degree rotation.
Impressive size:
Globe itself: 21.5" Diameter
Length including the meridian: 22.5"
H: 26.5".
