GLOBE

These are the much-loved globes with real topography that you can touch and feel -- since 1930 the most popular globes in the classrooms of America. Each globe is covered in sturdy, coated paper applied by hand. Our bestselling globe, the Pioneer, is a brightly colored, blue-ocean model with a handy gyro-mount. Made largely by hand in Chicago, Replogle offers more than 100 models, from this classic to floor models and the imposing Diplomat (GLB25, $7,225), the world's most detailed globe. (GLB11, $69.00)
