Hallo, ich habe diesen Globus im ländlichen Südwesten von Georgia (USA) gefunden und habe gehofft, dass mir jemand mit einem größeren Faible für Geographie/Geschichte helfen kann, das ungefähre Datum zu finden!
die Fotos sind nicht so toll

Germany has occupied Austria but not Czechoslovakia and Korea is called “Chosen” indicating it’s occupied by imperial Japan, so my first guess is mid-1930s.
Sadly you cover my home province of Newfoundland which was the one part of North America that would have been different (it was a separate Dominion from Canada at the time) 🥲
Slovakia is separate, Austria and Czechia are part of Germany, so 1939?
Around 1930?
Fun find
Guessing it’s around 1939, no Czech Republic or Austria and the layout of Africa.
1938-1939
My guess is around 1939-1940, although I do find it interesting that Hungary has part of Transylvania but Poland is still independent. At the broadest range it’s from late 1939 – early 1941
Iran rather than Persia so 1935+. No Italian east Africa so before 1937.

About 1940ish because Hungary has Northern Transylvania.
It’s not showing the USSR annexation of the Baltics or Italian annexation of Ehtiopia, but it is showing German annexation of Czechia (1939). Looks like it’s missing Turkeys annexation of Hatay province too (1939).
before WW1. Transylvania isn’t a part of Romania (Rumania) yet which happens as a result of WW1
**1940-41**. You can see Hungary annexed territory from Romania ([Second Vienna Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Vienna_Award)) , which happened in 1940.
Note: Some *de-facto* occupations and border changes were not considered legit by the authors (1939 partition of Poland, 1940 annexation of Baltic States by USSR). Small things such as Turkey taking control of Alexandretta might have just been not noticed.
1939
It’s a weird map for sure probably from 1940. It recognizes the second Vienna award giving Transylvania to Hungary in 1940 but simultaneously does not recognize German occupation of Poland. Probably for good reason.
Palestine is there so definitely before the British mandate gave half of it to zionists in 1947.
Gotta be 1938.
ya I’d take it out for dinner
probably within the past 150 years or so
I’m sorry but I think we should just be friends…
1935-1939
Before 1947 – India, Pakistan were one dominion
Does it say Gulf of Mexico, or orange man’s temporary name until next election.
I’m guessing Pre WWII? I know a lot of African nations didn’t gain independence until the 1960s
I didn’t realize I needed an outdated globe until this very moment. Now I must find one for myself.
1938. Immediately before World War 2.
Sometimes if you look on the figure 8 thing (The Analema) it may have a date printed on the meridian near there.
globes can’t consent so sorry can’t date

The globe is from 1934 -1939, the West Coast of Africa was known as Rio de Oro under Spanish rule, but changed at the start of WWII
