Terrestrial Globe Bank with Months, Seasons, and Zodiac Signs on Base by J. Chein

Baby-blue globe with a rainbow-colored base printed with the months.

This tin terrestrial globe bank with months, seasons and zodiac signs on the base is from Ohio, the United States, and dates to the 20th century. Calendar rings showing the months, seasons and zodiac signs were a common teaching feature on globes, tying the Earth's tilt to the turning of the year. On view, a small globe in pastel blue showing South America in yellow and pink, seamed around the equator. The base is a bright red dish printed with colored panels of month names and zodiac figures in a ring. It is 6.5 inches high and 6 in diameter.

Keeps track of the world and the calendar at once.
