Roger Cherry sent this picture in. Maybe he can fill us in about when it dates from.

Thanks Roger!

I don't know much about this globe. One of my buddies in California sent me the photo. I believe the globe surfaced about 3 or 4 years ago but thats about all I know about it. Sure would like to have it in my collection. Ted, I guess the boys in Cally did have one!!!!!!!!!!!
