Toy Terrestrial Globe by J. Chein

Globe on a brass-toned stand, with continents looking pleasantly faded.

This is a toy terrestrial globe in lithographed tin. It is lithograph tin. Tin lithography prints the design directly onto flat sheet metal, which is then stamped and formed, a method used for many mid-century toys and tins. Small sphere is tipped in a curved metal arc marked with degrees, and mounted on a round base with a stepped stem. The oceans are dull blue-grey, the land orange and cream, with visible wear and scratches. It is 9 inches high and 5 in diameter.

Still sure of where everything is, give or take a border.
