Do you collect antique or vintage terrestrial globes? Perhaps you like to see how older world globes show the political boundaries of their times. It is fascinating to see how countries and cities have changed their names over the decades, and the results of wars that have moved boundaries. Some people collect globes because they often show the tracks and routes that explorers took as they learned about our planet. Others collect world globes because they are beautiful to look at.
Whatever your reasons for collecting older globes, you may wonder 'How old is my globe?' and need help determining how old it is.
The following dates will help you 'date your globe' and determine how old it might be. These dates were compiled from Internet and book sources by Kate Register of Rice, Virginia. This is a work in progress, and should not be quoted without verification. Remember, globe manufacturers did not always change the names of countries and boundaries immediately. To learn more about the art of collecting antique and vintage globes, visit OMNITERRUM.COM -- the best web site on the topic!
