An exquisite machine age slated Educational Globe c 1950 Denoyer Geppert described this fab industrial piece as a “Slated Outline Activity Globe”. Presented as an exceptional Geographical learning tool, the globe consists of a hollow spun metal blue orb with black slated land masses and can be written on with chalk. The orb has a diameter of 20 inches; the stand has a telescoping mechanism which offers various height adjustments. Active in our local school system until the 1960s, this sphere has been rescued by a teacher when disposed. Overall in good condition, the globe has survived its duty as an educational tool with only minor blemishes. Some corrosion, as seen in pictures. It appears a minor collision with an asteroid has also occurred. The very slight indentation can be seen near the Solomon Islands, North East of Australia. The bold black land against Blue Ocean provides a fantastic industrial look. If you are looking for an unusual mid century statement, this scientific masterpiece is for you! With this machine age masterpiece we will also provide facsimile copies of the original catalog advertisement. This is a very large and heavy artifact. We will deliver worldwide though shipping charges will apply. Please inquire for your location. About Denoyer Geppert: Founded in Chicago by L. Philip Denoyer and Otto E. Geppert, both former employees of the US branch of W. & A.K. Johnston of Scotland & Nystrom (supplied many Chicago globe makers with printed gores). In its early years, the firm promoted itself as a manufacture and supplier of "visual demonstration equipment for geography, history and the biological sciences," including globes and maps. Denoyer-Geppert sold imported British globes under its own name, and also developed its own line of American manufactured globes, including the "Cartocraft" globe with simplified map gores. In 1969, the company introduced its Lunar Globe in conjunction with NASA in recognition of the Apollo 10 Journey to the moon. The crew of the Apollo 10 presented the first Lunar Globe based on the pictures provided by Apollo 10 to President Nixon at a White House Event . The firm continued to produce globes until the early 1980s. Rand McNally purchased the remains of Denoyer-Geppert, terminated the globe manufacturing branch and sold the chart and scientific model part in 1985. Today the remains of the original company operate as the Denoyer-Geppert Science Co., manufacturing and selling “Human anatomy teaching models.” $899 — Item : 512DGINDUSSLATE - SOLD
