Golden Rule Foundation • New York • Chicago • Los Angeles. Globe No. Made in U.S.A. The quote from Grace Noll means that it can be no older than 1938 and the map supports this reasoning. Europe is shown with pre World War 2 borders and Iran is shown instead of Persia (1935). The orb is made of hollow spun tin with a lithographed map. It sits on a base with a plug on the underside. Diameter of the orb is about 4 inches with a total height (including base) of 5 inches. The globe is in very good condition for its age; colors are brilliant, details crisp.
