This fantastic globe was issued by the Nautical Heritage Society in limited edition in the 1990's and manufactured by the Franklin Mint. The globe rests upon a beautiful spouting sperm whale with compass directions and the globe balanced on its tail. The base has gold on black etched art work of an old sailing vessel on all three sides.
This globe is in excellent vintage condition with very minor blemishing to the gold finish, reflections in the pictures make this difficult to show. It makes a fantastic display piece for the nautical travel and adventure enthusiast.
