AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage globe from the Danish brand Scan-Globe A/S (Copenhagen, Denmark), dated 1978 according to the inscription on the globe itself. The cartography is by Karl-F. Harig, printed by E. Gieseking in Germany — information clearly printed on the globe.
• Construction: relief globe with raised terrain (mountain ranges feelable/visible in relief), color-coding for vegetation zones (savanna, steppe, desert, tundra, coniferous and deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, snow and ice) with legend on the globe itself
• Meridian arc: metal half-circle along which the globe can tilt/rotate
• Base: black, hexagonal plastic base with a tapered column
• Language: Dutch place names and legend (e.g., “Arabian Sea”, “cultivated land”, “coniferous and deciduous forest”), made for the Dutch/Benelux market
• Condition: normal signs of use, in particular scratches on the black base (see photos); the globe itself looks sharp and colorful
Scan-Globe A/S was a well-known Danish producer of school and home globes that operated for decades and exported worldwide, often with locally adapted language versions.
