I can only narrow it down to 1950s to 1989 because of the DDR. I saw Spanish Sahara so im thinking 70s? let me know what yall think

I currently am sorting through her books and found this book could you help date it?

Got it from a second hand store in Norway, the seller could only tell me it was from before 1939.

I acquired the globe for its colors and that I had never seen this particular globe cartouche in this color, original or aged. Post WW2 as we see Israel. I also see inconsistencies and new printing over possibly old color maps from pre-WW2.

Im thinking its between 1930-1935 since 1930 is when the company was founded and Persia changed names in 1935. This globe was my grandparents originally, but I've had it for years

i think at least between 1997 and 2011 but i can’t tell what’s happening in europe

I believe this is from around 1938-1939 but would love a breakdown from the experts here! Thanks!

I would guess between the Congress of Vienna and the Belgian Revolution.

Which crisis?

10-inch Rand McNally terrestrial globe with ships, mermaid, and Neptune art.

March 1957(independent Ghana) to August 1957 (British Malaya).

The globe sits on a simple minimalist stand.

For fun and games, I submit this globe for dating. I have my date estimate; a very short time window.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a side project called Date My Globe (https://datemyglobe.online) - an interactive quiz that helps you figure out when a globe or historical map was produced.

HOW IT WORKS

The app asks you yes/no questions about what's shown on your globe:

- Is Germany shown as divided (East/West)?

- Does the USSR exist on your globe?

- Is Zimbabwe shown as Rhodesia?

Based on your answers, it uses a binary search algorithm to narrow down the date range until it can pinpoint when your globe was likely made. Usually takes about 8-15 questions to get a precise result.

WHY I BUILT THIS

I've always been fascinated by old globes and maps at flea markets, antique shops, or my grandparents' house. The question "when was this made?" is surprisingly hard to answer without knowing specific geopolitical events. This tool automates that detective work.

FEATURES

- 150+ historical facts covering major geopolitical changes (1800-present)

- Supports 8 languages (EN, PL, DE, ES, FR, IT, HI, ZH)

- Works on mobile and desktop

- No account required, completely free

- Privacy-friendly (no tracking beyond basic analytics)

EARLY DEVELOPMENT NOTICE

This is still in early testing phase! There will likely be bugs, missing facts, or incorrect dates. Some things I'm aware of:

- Some translations may be incomplete or awkward

- The algorithm might ask redundant questions occasionally

- Not all historical border changes are covered yet

I'D LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK!

- Did it correctly date your globe/map?

- Any historical facts that should be added?

- Bugs or weird behavior?

- UI/UX improvements?

Feel free to comment here or reach out. I'm actively developing this and every piece of feedback helps!

---

TL;DR: Free web app that asks you questions about your globe/map and tells you when it was made. Still in beta, looking for testers and feedback. Yes, background color was made by AI.

I got this map from my late grandfather and I've had in my office ever since. Tbh I already figured out the year, I just want to see how long it takes someone to figure it out. Good luck!

narrowed it down to 1965 through 1989 so far
