Description
This illuminated world globe is a faithful depiction of the Earth, with axial tilt and precise map of the globe. Frame and base are covered with silver lacquer. The globe is both a lamp and an education item. Inside the globe there is a lightbulb which lights it up, and a special screen under the surface shows current light zones on Earth, depending on the month and year season. In the base of the globe there is a small mechanism embedded, which allows switching moon phases.
This item is marked at the bottom: Columbus Erdglobus, Duplex, Politisch und physikalisch; Columbus Verlag Paul Oestergaard K.G., Berlin und Stuttgart. The Columbus company was established by the Oestergaard brothers in 1909 and for many years it remained the worlds leading globe producer.
