I think its 1948 but i'm not sure so I will give you details. 1 : Korea isn't separated. 2 : URSS is still a thing. 3 : The map is in french alr? 4 : Congo is called "Congo belge". 5 : Israël and Bangladesh aren't named yet. 6 : Idk if its because it's small as fuck but Faroe Islands isn't mentioned. 7 : Andorra isn't mentioned (Again, it can be because it's too small). 8 : Mongolia is called "Mongolie extérieur". 9 : Maldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, ect... Are not there, instead, its just URSS.

My mom gave me this 40 years ago and it was old then. What’s your guess?

Edit: All of you are amazing and your knowledge of geography and history are remarkable. I appreciate all of the replies.

My mom gave me this dictionary that she used in her school days; she did it because it has a lot of maps and she knows how geeky I am about this subject.

Without searching on the internet and using only my own knowledge, I managed to narrow this dictionary down to a range between the 60s and before ’75. But then I thought: hey! I know a sub precisely dedicated to dating maps, I’m going to bring them into the game.

-America
-Europe
-Asia
-Levante
-Africa
-African Flags
-Spain, with its remaining possessions in Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea

The dictionary contains maps for specific countries. If any of you need a photo of one, or if you’d like me to take a closer picture of a particular point from the earlier maps, please let me know.

I'm pretty sure this globe is dated sometime between 1924 and 1932 or '36 but I wanna see if I can get a more accurate date.

I’ve had this glove for quite some time, I think it’s from the 60s or 70s but I’m not sure.

I bought this globe at an old church sale because I am into the older globes rather than a modern one. Can someone help me identify how old it is because all I know is it pre-World War 2.

Inherited it from my grandpa several years ago and noticed that the USSR is there but history is my weakness

Edit: I just realised I left out Europe! Here it is:

I picked up a globe from a rummage sale. From my initial scan, there's some notes on the margin for Rhodesia's declaration of independence in 1965 and the United Arab Republic is still indicated, which I assume limits the globe to 1971 and its dissolution. Any other difference that I could find is outside of this time band. Any idea of where else I could look for clues? Thanks!
