Description

 Very nice columbus duo erdgloben- see picture for further markings. Unique mahogony stand that I have been unable to find on other globes. A very cool peice that lights up and displays shipping lanes etc. Handblown- atleast 50's or earlier. 9 inch diamater, I have seen similar ones with different bases online for as much as 2000$ at auction, whats it worth???

 

Thanks so much
