Replogle World Globe on Lucite Stand


I don't think we've ever described a globe as chic before, but it's a fitting adjective.  This is a sensational piece and unlike any we have seen.  LeRoy M. Tolman was the cartographer of the globe, and it is beautifully illustrated.  It swivels on a thick and heavy lucite stand.  The base is weighted and covered in black acrylic and gold metal.  It is very decorative and would be just as at home in a living room as in a study, den or bedroom.  Stand, 47" h., 24" w., 12.5" d.  Globe, 16" diam.  American, c. 1970's  $650.00 SOLD

L.O.V.E.W.A.L.L.S.

We are giving away our 3' x3' plywood building blocks that we made for our "Build Love, Not Walls" Christmas window.  As the new Secretary of Education has been confirmed in the U.S., we think it would be great if we could donate them to a neighborhood school and send that message out to the kids.  Any teachers or P.T.A. parents out there interested, please let me know.  michael@michaelthomasantiques.com
Update:  The blocks have now found a new home at a local school here in Hamilton.  Thanks for that!
