This is a globe that was included in a set of "Gakken Encyclopedia" published in the Showa 40s to 50s (1965-1975). It's a non-sale item, so there's no manufacturer's stamp, but it's a distinctive piece with the reddish-brown wooden base and aluminum longitude ring characteristic of Gakken educational materials at the time. The map markings include country names that no longer exist, such as "USSR," "Burma," "East Germany," and "Zaire," making it a rare model that evokes the history of the mid-Showa period. The colors of the sphere are vibrant, and the printing is clear. There are minor scratches and scuffs due to aging, and slight paint peeling on the base, but overall, it's in good condition as a vintage item. Recommended for living room or study interiors, and for retro collections. 【Condition】Good as a vintage item (see images) 【Size】Height: Approximately 50cm (sphere diameter: approximately 40cm) 【Shipping】Will be carefully packed with cushioning material. For Showa retro goods and antique globe collectors, and Gakken educational material collectors.
