Hammond was a prominent American producer of maps and globes from the late 19th Century, and continues in business today. They used both W.& A.K. Johnston and Chicago globes with the Hammond overlabel in addition to manufacturing their own globes. This globe was most likely manufactured by Hammond, exhibiting the characteristic central metal sphere of the Hammond firm. For more information about C.S.
