The terrestrial globe canted on an angled inclination arm, raised on a sheet metal stand with four taped legs.
This is among the earliest known dated Weber Costello 8-inch globes, copyrighted 1909. It has a Weber Costello cartouche overlabel, possibly on W. & A.K. Johnston globe gores, with typical red and blue isothermal lines, and white ocean currents. St. Petersburg is shown, confirming a date before 1914. The rare and unusual original iron stand is in the arts-and-crafts taste of the period that favored the use of hammered metal. Another example of this globe is known, but on a pyramidal iron stand, also of arts-and-crafts design.
