An attractive medium-sized table globe, on a traditional cast iron cabriole leg stand, appropriate for desk or shelf display.
The terrestrial globe is surmounted by a tin hour circle, canted at an angle on an inclination arm, on a tripod iron stand with raised foliate decoration and cabochons between the cabriole legs, ending in paw feet. Oceans are blue, geographic entities are cream-colored, yellow, a faded shade of red or light green. Warm and cold ocean currents are indicated by white or blue lines respectively. Winds over the oceans are labeled and indicated with arrows. Blue and red isothermal lines. Other informational features include a figure-eight analemma and a small box with a diagram of the curvature of the earth's surface at a scale of 2 inches per mile.
The globe shows present-day St. Petersburg, Russia, as "Leningrad;" therefore, it was made after 1924. Further, it shows Constantinople rather than Istanbul, indicating a date of manufacture before 1930. In addition, it shows Central Australia as a separate territory, limiting its period from 1927 to 1931. The gores (maps on globe’s surface) were printed by the British firm of G.W. Bacon, imported and manufactured into globes by the American firm Weber Costello, and sold by C.S. Hammond. The Weber Costello diamond-shaped cipher is printed above the cartouche.
