By purchasing from me you are contributing to my local food bank in Sequim (pronounced Skwim) Washington. I give a portion of my proceeds to them each quarter. Plumb Crazy Vintage is run by treasure hunter Joan Plumb, finding vintage, antique, and delightfully unique pieces with personality. I collect because I love the thrill of the hunt—and giving special finds a second life in a new home. If it makes me smile, it made the cut. I usually ship the 1st business day after purchase.
Rare Pre-WWII 1934-35 9" Desk Globe - French Indo-China, Siam, USSR - Radio Station Edition
Beautiful early 1930s terrestrial globe on original dark brown bakelite / wood base with metal meridian and pole cap. This is the highly collectible shortwave radio station edition with call letters printed on the oceans, including W2XAD Schenectady and others.
This is not just a "USSR globe." This globe captures a world that disappeared before WWII:
Asia shows FRENCH INDO-CHINA with Hanoi, Saigon, Tonkin, Annam - no Vietnam label yet. China shows Sinkiang, Tibet, Manchukuo. Korea and Formosa under Japanese influence.
SIAM before it became Thailand, IRAN (PERSIA) in transitional labeling, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Baluchistan.
Africa shows Belgian Congo, French West Africa, French Equatorial Africa, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Bechuanaland, Tanganyika Territory.
North America shows DOMINION OF CANADA and Newfoundland as separate. Philippine Islands (U.S.A.) and Pacific islands marked (Jap.) for Japanese Mandate - Palau Is., Yap.
Perfect for collector, classroom, office library, mid-century and cartography decor. A true time capsule
