Late-1940s Replogle 12" Precision Globe with black oceans, designed by Gustav Brueckmann and produced in the USA. This version is considered rare for its dark ocean finish and for the way it captures the immediate postwar geopolitical layout. The globe uses paper gores applied over a metal sphere with a metal meridian and axis appeals to collectors interested in mid-century cartography, vintage educational globes, and early post-WWII world mapping.
The dating aligns with a narrow window in the late 1940s based on period-specific country labels: Siam (THAILAND), used between 1946–48; Indo-China before its division into Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos; and early Indonesia, reflecting recognition around 1949. These borders confirm the late-1940s production period and highlight the transitional political boundaries of that era.
