Vintage Cram’s Imperial 12-Inch World Globe – George F. Cram – Gold-Tone Stand

A classic Cram’s Imperial World Globe with the rich golden colouring and metal stand that give these older globes so much decorative character.

Produced by The George F. Cram Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, this 12-inch globe features detailed political geography, ocean currents, latitude and longitude lines, an analemma showing the sun’s declination and equation of time, and a numbered gold-tone meridian ring.

The aged mustard-gold colouring paired with the brass/gold-tone base makes this a particularly attractive display piece for an office, library, study or vintage-inspired interior.
