An Attractive First Quarter 20th Century 12″ Terrestrial Table Globe

By Weber Costello Co. Chicago Heights, Illinois.

I love the steel Art Nouveau stand and the depth of colours to the globe.

Dating this globe is easy, firstly the overall aging and restorations to the globe, then the original Nouveau period stand.

But most interestingly is the names of cities and states around the world in 1925 had been changed.

In 1926 we had ‘Central Australia’ as another state.

This only lasted until 1931.

Constantinople was officially renamed Istanbul in 1930, among other interesting differences.
