Children’s Tin Globe Toy by Replogle – 1952

invisibleagent — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:41:03 +0000

This is a rare example of a childrens tin globe by Replogle Globes circa 1952.

Replogle still manufactures globes in Chicago today.

Here’s a look at how globes are made inside the Roplogle Globe factory in Chicago today:
