A nice Rand McNally globe, dating from 1930s, with Art Deco stand of the period. The stand is similar to those produced by George Philip London, and was possibly imported by Rand McNally from them.
The celestial globe surmounted by a chome finial and unprinted disk, canted at an angle in chromed rectilinear stationary axis arm, mounted on rectangular ebonized wooden base with canted corners. Stars are shown in yellow in five different icon forms (variations on circles and stars) each representing a greater magnitude of brightness, and classical constellations are illustrated in light blue outline drawings, all on dark blue background.
