PHILIPS 'Challenge' 10 inch terrestrial globe, 1962

This is a fine example of the classic table globe by the British company Philips, dated 1962. This was one of the last globes to identify Commonwealth countries and Protectorates with the traditional dark pink of Empire-era cartography.

The globe is constructed from two pasteboard hemispheres with hand-applied composite paper gores, joined at the equator. It features the trademark Everite stepped black bakelite base with a chromed die cast meridian, and an aluminium time dial at the North Pole.

The map has been carefully cleaned and is bright with minimal fading and marking. The base and meridian have been cleaned and polished and are also in excellent condition.
