Antique Globe 12 by National Geographic - Made in USA

The 12" diameter globe has an elegant parchment colored cartography and a unique metal base with a die-cast map of the northern hemisphere. It shows the latest up-to-date maps and features raised relief cartography to better emphasize the mountainous areas of the world. The globe includes thousands of place names such as continents, countries, capitals, biggest/important cities, bodies of water, and much more. It is held by a die-cast numbered semi-meridian and has a time dial located at the North Pole. The globe has a diameter of 12" (30 cm), a height of 17" (43 cm), a width of 13" (33 cm), and weighs 3.3 lbs. (1.5 Kg). The map is up-to-date and the surface is raised relief. The language used is English, and there are over 4000 place names. The base is made of antique plated die-cast metal. The raised relief feature on the globe allows you to 'SEE & FEEL' the mountains, even though their actual height on the globe does not have any relationship to the true relative heights of the mountain ranges.
