Weber Costello Globe with Horizon Ring
Give your special man a moment to dream in the coming year with this 12 inch terrestrial globe by Weber Costello Co. of Chicago Heights, Illinois, USA. This iconic table globe has a full ring cast iron meridian, mounted in a cradle. The base is a cast metal tripod stand with fine decoration and paw feet.
The laminated wood horizon ring has its complete paper scale showing months, zodiac signs, etc. "Copyright 1898 by TH Costello" is printed on the rim.
Globes are dated according to political changes. This one shows Petrograd in Russia, dating it between 1914 (when it was changed from St Petersburg) and 1924 (re-named Leningrad). With no changes from the Treaty of Versailles after WW1, it therefore shows a pre-1919 Europe.
The condition is excellent, one small dent on Beirut, about 1.5cm by 0.6cm. The surface has typical minor rubbing and fading commensurate with its age.
Height 58.5cm (23 inches)
Diameter of horizon ring 43cm (17 inches)
