Antique Rare 1930s 1940s Military Cast Iron WWII Educational Chalk Globe

A striking and rare piece of mid-20th century history, this vintage military-style chalk globe dates back to the 1930s–1940s. Featuring a beautifully aged hand-painted surface and mounted on a heavy cast iron tripod base, this globe was likely used for educational or strategic purposes during wartime. The minimalist stenciled design and muted palette suggest a utilitarian military issue rather than a commercial school globe. I acquired this about 6-7 years ago and am ready for it to find a new home! • Authentic vintage condition with original patina • Heavy cast iron base with classic tripod legs (felt pads added at feet) • Likely used for military training or classroom instruction during WWII • Globally stylized with simplified landmasses and regional demarcations • Stands approximately 14 inches tall • Globe circumference is approximately 25 inches (about 8” diameter) A perfect centerpiece for a study, library, or historical decor collection. This is not a reproduction — it’s a genuine artifact with rich character. I’m unsure if it’s a Denoyer Geppert, but extremely similar. It’s nearly 5lb alone.
