AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This looks like a beautiful old school globe (Schulglobus), probably from the mid-20th century. Based on what I can see in the photo, a few things stand out:

What I see

* Inscription: Petersen Schulglobus. That is a well-known German manufacturer of school globes.
* Language: The globe is in German ("Schulglobus" literally means school globe).
* Base: A solid wooden base with a metal meridian ring. That type was popular from about the 1930s to the 1960s.
* Map style: The yellowed, muted colors and typography point to an older paper map that has been glued onto the globe.
