On 05-Dec-13 at 13:03:45 GMT, seller added the following information: PLEASE NOTE There is a heavy ball inside this globe which may be there to balance it - I don't know. It rattles around inside the globe when moved so this could cause damage from the inside when in transit. Please bare this in mind when bidding if you require this item to be shipped. The globe is fragile and has been repaired therefore will be weaker than when it was produced. The historical damage has been filled with a clay like material which is visible to areas of the globe. An immaculate example of a globe of this size and period would be worth a significant amount of money so its starting price reflects this damage. This item has been priced to clear. |
