Check out this $50 thrift store find. I've dated it to 1972-73 with Bangladesh and UAE being independent but not Guinea-Bissau or the Bahamas. Despite being over 50 years old, it's in great shape. Almost as if no one ever spun it or even touched it much. The surface is clean, no smudges, and the raised relief feels great. The stand is actual metal (brass?), unlike the plastic one of my recent desktop globe from 2024. It's always interesting to see so many old country names on older maps.
