Vintage globe made by Replogle in the USA. This model was made for the Japanese market and features Japanese text. The globe itself is marked with: "Book Loan Globe" "Made in U.S.A." It has a charming design typical of the Showa era. The combination of a wooden base and metal frame gives it a calm presence. It's a stylish piece for interior decoration, shop displays, or as a photography prop. The map surface shows signs of aging, including yellowing, color unevenness, scratches, and small bumps and stains. It's not in like-new condition, but it retains the authentic feel of a vintage item that has been used for many years. There may be some issues, but I'm not sure what they are. The globe rotates, and the base is stable. This item is more for display and decoration than for practical use. Please examine the photos carefully for the condition. Please purchase only if you understand and appreciate vintage items.
