I believe the maps on this pair of globes are 17th Century reproductions and they are in EXCELLENT condition with no scratches & no chips or cracks in the wood!! The globes are shown upside down so that missing tip on the one globe can be seen (see photo 2!!)!! The pair was made in Hong Kong and I believe they date from the 1970's!! Approx. 5.75" high X 5.75" long X 3.5" wide!! Quoted shipping charges are based on the farthest zone from me, so if you live in closer proximity to Greensboro, NC, the cost will go down!! I refund overcharges less a small packing & handling fee, so even if you pay the quoted charge you will not be overcharged!! BUT PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICING to maximize your potential refund as ebay now charges a final value fee on the shipping too! Please see my many other antique and collectible listings and email me with any questions!!
