Description

This raised relief 12 inch antique oceans globe is mounted in a durable champagne toned metal semi-meridian with a routed edge. A dark oak finished wood base provides a sophisticated but subtle accent. This globes features raised relief. The faded look of the antique ocean harkens back to the early days of globe design, making this globe truly a classic.

The George F. Cram Company story dates back to 1867, when George Cram, only two years after fighting for the Union in the Civil War, joined his uncle's business of making city and state maps. In 1869 Cram became the first American publisher to produce a world atlas. The Cram name quickly became synonymous with accuracy and innovation. In 1932, the company expanded into manufacturing world globes. Today, the Cram company is considered one of the top leaders in the world globe industry and its globes are present in thousands of schools, homes, and offices around the world.

    Comments about Cram Newport 12-Inch Diameter Tabletop Globe:

    I love the antique coloring of the globe and it is a great size. My issue is that it is either generally poor construction or this particular globe shouldn't have made it through quality control. The panels do not line up correctly and Tripoli is all but cut off between two panels.

    If it was assembled and glued correctly I would rate it five stars. Unfortunately, based on just this one I cannot recommend it.

      Comments about Cram Newport 12-Inch Diameter Tabletop Globe:

      It has a beautiful print, and it has a good construction for most places. I am not sure if it got dinged a bit in [...], but I thought it would be a hassle to exchange it. Also, the fact that I have to physically pick it up in order to see the bottom of the globe, it is a turnoff.
