Sterrenglobe - 1970-1980

An authentic vintage English nautical Star Globe, produced by the renowned instrument maker Kelvin & Hughes Ltd. and printed by the well-known cartographers George Philip & Son Ltd. ​With the designation Epoch 1975, this celestial globe was originally designed as a precision navigation instrument. Seafarers used it to identify stars and determine position at sea via astronomical navigation. The globe hangs in a brass meridian ring and sits on a heavy, solid brass base with a beautiful warm patina. Many photos added so the condition of the globe can be well assessed. Also a photo with a pen so the size can be well judged. Photos form part of the description. The globe will be very carefully packaged, sent by registered mail and insured with a track and trace code. See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs. Not shipped to the United States.

Estimate:£252.95
