Globes have to be one of our favourites things here at Absolutely Nice HQ. Their colours, functionality and craftsmanship tick all the right boxes. If you search for 'Globe Making (1955)' in YouTube there are a couple of amazing videos by British Pathé that are well worthy of a watch.
Before a time when you could just type in a location on a computer and see every nook and cranny at street level, you had to rely on your trusty globe to see where Burkina Faso or Azerbaijan were.
This lovely little tin globe would be a beautiful addition to any home, study or office. Measures approximately 20cm tall and 11.5cm wide.
It's no secret this globe has had lots of use in it's lifetime. As a result there's pitting, stains and marks all over.
