Description: RARE 1927 Antique Geographic Educator Terrestrial Globe Bakelite Puzzle Inside. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Comes shipped in a custom fit protective zipper bag Minor imperfections on piece still in amazing shape for its age! Please look at all photos! This piece is fully functioning and ready for its home! Marketed as "the invention of the century," as well as "the world in pieces." Made by Geographic Educator Corporation which existed in New York City for just two years prior to the Great Depression. The firm manufactured small world globes as educational toys. This globe comes apart on six lines of latitude. Within each circular "platter" formed by these separations, lay Bakelite jigsaw puzzles composed of the countries that make up each major continent. The firm included important events, such as Lindberg's then recent transatlantic flight, upon the globe. Geographic Educator Corporation puzzle globes are considered both rare and unique examples among collectors today. When assembled, the globe is 6” diameter. Including the cast iron tripod base it is approximately 10.5 inches tall. The outside paper is fragile and is missing in some areas, most noted in the last photo. As far as the puzzle pieces, only one small piece missing, you very rarely find this globe with all the pieces like this one here. Thanks for looking :)
