Hello Map Enthusiasts!
I was looking through old boxes from my childhood and found my grandfather's old globe. I recall each of us using it to look at different countries and learn where they all are. When I opened up the box now, more than a decade after his passing, I decided I wanted to know more about it.
The label says that it is a Cram Imperial Globe, and I looked up how to date the globe based on which countries are in existence on it. I determined that this globe must have been made between May 1990 and October 1990 because it has a unified Yemen on it, but still has East and West Germany on it.
It's in pretty decent shape for its age I think. There are spots where I think grandpa had to tape the equator back on it haha
Yougoslavia and East Germany didn't exist past 1990 if that helps.
