Description from the seller
An authentic vintage English nautical Star Globe, produced by the renowned instrument maker Kelvin & Hughes Ltd. and printed by the well-known cartographers George Philip & Son Ltd.
With the designation Epoch 1975, this celestial globe was originally designed as a precision navigation instrument. Seafarers used it to identify stars and determine position at sea via astronomical navigation. The globe hangs in a brass meridian ring and sits on a heavy, solid brass base with a beautiful warm patina.
Many photos added so the condition of the globe can be well assessed. Also a photo with a pen so the size can be well judged.
Photos form part of the description.
The globe will be very carefully packaged, sent by registered mail and insured with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not shipped to the United States.
