A snapshot from the early 1990s A vintage globe made by Replogle, a globe manufacturer in the United States. Based on the map data displayed, this is a rare globe that reflects information from May 1993 to April 1994, a one-year period. ■ Points that prove the era: Immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union: The globe includes the name "RUSSIA" along with former names (e.g., Leningrad). Eritrea immediately after independence: "ERITREA," which gained independence in May 1993, is already listed. Extinct place names: "TRANSKEI," which was integrated into South Africa in April 1994, is listed. The current Democratic Republic of the Congo is labeled with the former name "ZAIRE." ■ Attention to detail as interior decor: Marble-style wood base: The base is made of wood, but it has a luxurious marble-like paint finish. It is lighter than stone and easier to handle, and it is less likely to scratch the surface it is placed on. Raised relief: The unevenness of the ground is reproduced three-dimensionally with "press relief" processing. 【Condition】 As a vintage item, there is some discoloration, paint chipping on the base, and rust, but rather, this enhances the vintage appeal, and it is in very good condition for something from 30 years ago. Lightly cleaned. 【Specifications】 Manufacturer: Replogle Language: English Base: Wooden (marble-style paint) Processing: Raised relief
