Veralteter gefüllter Globus bei Target

Must’ve been right before or during WWII. I’ve never seen a globe with Austria and Czechia as part of Germany.

LOL RIP Corsica

Where’s Whorelando!?

I like how they chose to include Kapuskasing for Ontario but omitted Toronto.

I love how it shows Mongolia and Tuva as chinese warlords

I estimate this globe to be from around mid-1939 based on Germany’s occupation of Bohemia and Moravia (March ’39).

This is one of many old-timey/retro/throwback maps and globes where the company making the product basically makes it up as they go along. Saying “it’s anachronistic” is an understatement.

Here’s another example (my parents had this map hanging up in their home office for a while and it really bothered me): [https://stocklistgoods.com/products/vintageschoolchartworldmap](https://stocklistgoods.com/products/vintageschoolchartworldmap)

Some of these “anachronistic on steroids” maps can even be considered racist when it comes to the presentation of Europe and parts of the world European nations colonized. But sorry for venting my frustrations and ruining the mood. I know we’re discussing a cheap stuffed tchotchke here.

Interesting that they didn’t include Taiwan as part of the Japanese Empire. 

And the seam through Germany was kinda prophetic I guess. 

Interesting how they made Ukraine independent

I wonder if they used an old map because of copyright? They probably found something in the public domain and slapped it on there.

And that horribly pinched north pole?

really ancient, goddamn

What a great idea

Was it on sale? 😂

Like 1930 or something with that one.

Rhodesia. lol

Looks like they lost the Czech Republic …

Crazy it still has Greenland as part of Denmark.

GrEEEEEEEeeen^land

Looks like the mapparium in Boston
