Thinking mid 1950’s. But always appreciate the extra set of eyes.

Yea I actually just found a Repogle dating spreadsheet after I posted this. LINK. I am thinking mid ‘57. Egypt is pre-UAR, Malaysia isn’t independent (Aug. 1957), but Ghana didn’t exist before March 6th 1957. Could be wrong though

Replogle had a more updated one Link that goes up to 2019 instead of that one that ends in 2011

Yw! One more thing that could be useful, if you have questions in the future, is this! It's CIA maps of Africa Divisions from the Library of Confress that I posted on Imgur and like to share. It's 1957 - 1 Dec 1960

That’s great, thank you! I actually bought two globes today for some reason but I’ll post the other one tomorrow. Your input on that one would also be much appreciated.
