Vintage Replogle 16" "World Classic Series" Floor Globe on Turned Oak Tripod Stand

• Bring timeless library charm and old-world exploration into your study, office, or living space with this stately freestanding floor globe crafted by Replogle Globes, Inc.  
• Founded in Chicago in 1930 by Luther Irwin Replogle, Replogle quickly grew into the world's largest globe manufacturer—renowned for transforming globes from strictly academic tools into decorative household heirlooms. 
• The "World Classic Series" pairs rich, antique parchment-toned oceans with softly muted pastel landmasses, compass roses, and ornate baroque-style cartouches topped with a classic spread-winged eagle. 
• Cartographic details include international shipping routes, ocean currents, historical notes (such as early Polynesian canoe routes), and a city population legend, while geographical borders reflect a late-20th-century / post-Soviet era (showing Kazakhstan and modern African boundaries).   
• Designed with tactile raised-relief topography, major mountain ranges across the globe are subtly embossed so you can feel the contours of the Earth's terrain beneath your fingertips.  
• Suspended inside a full brass-toned gyro-matic meridian ring, the 16" sphere rotates smoothly on its axis and swings within the frame for effortless viewing of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. 
• Supported by a handsome turned and fluted oak-finished hardwood pedestal base with three gracefully curved cabriole-style tripod legs. 
• Valued at $135 CAD (comparable vintage Replogle 16" World Classic floor models typically retail between $150 and $275 CAD on the secondary market depending on stand style and condition, making this a strong value for a full-size floor piece).   
• Condition Assessment : Very good pre-owned vintage condition; the paper gores remain vibrant and well-adhered with minimal age-related surface wear, the meridian ring retains a warm patina, and the solid wood tripod base is sturdy with only light, expected signs of gentle handling.  
• Dimensions: 16" globe diameter; 36" overall height
