Note the globe is NOT driven by the standard 30 hour tape movement in the base. However, the company added a subsidiary dial around the stand which lists all major cities on each continent, and makes it easy enough to calculate the time at any location. The globe itself is by Replogle Globe Co of Chicago, paper over pressed cardboard and is in good condition (minor wear in Arctic region). These were only a few dollars when new, but very few have survived. Two standard nuts are missing from the dust cover on the base. Height 15"
