Vintage world globe by Columbus Verlag Paul Oestergaard, model Duplex, dating to 1980–1990, made of wood, chrome-plated metal and plastic, with internal lighting and a rotating meridian stand.
Description from the seller
Atmospheric vintage world globe from the German brand Columbus Verlag Paul Oestergaard, produced as the well-known Duplex model.
Dutch-language.
The special feature of this model is the double map display: when switched off you see a political map with national borders, and as soon as you turn the globe on it lights from inside and a physical (physiographic) map with elevation and depth relief appears. Thus it is both a decorative object and an ambient lamp.
The globe sits on a wooden base and rotates in a chrome-plated meridian cradle with degree markings. At the top there is a transparent 24-hour time ring. The lighting works, with a cord switch.
Underneath the original nameplate: Columbus Verlag Paul Oestergaard GmbH, type 40 26 59, 220V, max 15W.
Condition: vintage, in good condition with light signs of wear appropriate to its age. Works properly.
Dimensions (approx.):
Height including base: approx. 40 cm
Diameter of globe: approx. 26 cm
Width including cradle: approx. 30 cm
Brand: Columbus / Paul Oestergaard
Period: 1980s Materials: wood, metal (chrome), plastic
