A history student could easily date this globe as it shows a completely different world with Barbary States and two German colonies in Africa. We would approximate the date of the globe from 1870 to 1900. From a prominent Rocky Mountain area are dealer and auctioneer prominently displayed this in his gallery and would never offered for sale until his recent retirement. Est.: $2,500-$5,000.
