1910/1920 - Rare - Armilar Paluzie Spanish sphere

Model ‘A’ (With complete horizon and meridian). Manufactured by Paluzie for many years as a teaching item. This copy is one of the earliest, from about 1895-1920, as it comes with the high stand typical of that period. This sphere was manufactured virtually without changes between 1880 and 1935. This makes difficult to date the item accurately.

Armilar Ptolemy sphere. Diameter of the sphere: 20 cm approx. Height: 32 cm approx. Indoor globe (also brand Paluzie): 8 cm. Sphere made of wood, cardboard, metal (brass), and paper. Very good overall condition. Almost perfect with old water stains on the papers and minor frictions on the turning area. With the original stand.

Manufactured in Barcelona (Spain).

Very scarce
