Definitely before 1960 because Belgian Congo is on there.
It looks like Israel is on there so after 1948; and it also looks like Germany hasn’t been divided into east and west so no later than 1949.

The GDR exists, so 1949 or thereafter, imho none the sooner. I’m not sure how to read the map’s details RE the Korea situation. Is it after the Korean War, or During…?

Final verdict: 1958
United Arab Republic and Belgian Congo both exist at the same time, but Ghana and Guinea are both independent. This is likely summer of 1960.
EDIT: the Aden Protectoeate is also present, which was formed in 1959. This has to be between February 1959 and July 1960.
EDIT 2: the constituent states of Malaysia are not yet united, but Singapore is marked as fully independent, once again putting this at least in 1958. Cyprus is not yet independent, so before late summer of 1960.
EDIT 3: French West Africa still exists. The Aden Protectorate may still be British here, but the text isn’t visible. So this is definitely not 1960. It’s probably 1958.

If Brasilia isn’t on the map, then it’s pre-1960. That’s my personal favorite 1st deduction.

It’s 1958.
Syria and Egypt are part of the United Arab Republic, so it must be between Feb 1958 and Sep 1961.
The French West Africa still exists, so it must be before Oct 1958.
So between February and October 1958.
Corroborating factors:
– Brasília doesn’t exist (weirdly enough, both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are shown as capitals of Brazil, but São Paulo was never the capital) – pre 1960
– Goa is Portuguese – pre 1961
– Belgian Congo – pre 1960
– East Pakistan – pre 1971
– Trucial Oman – pre 1971
– Aden Protectorate – pre 1963
– Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland – between 1953 and 1963
– Union of South Africa – pre 1961
– Nigeria is British – pre 1960
– Angola and Mozambique are Portuguese – pre 1975
– Sarawak and North Borneo are British – pre 1963
EDIT: even more:
– Gwadar belongs to Oman – pre Dec 1958
– Independent Tunisia – post 1956
– Independent Ghana – post 1957
– Cyprus is British – pre 1959

1959 give or take a year. Both Guinea and French West Africa existing was a big help. It should also be noted that globe manufacturing it may also be a bit later due to delays in political recognition and updating maps.

This is precisely between the 14th of July 1958, and the 8th of December 1958. These dates bound the independence of Jordan and Iraq from their Arab Federation which are both present on the map, and the change of sovereignty of the city of Gwadar in South-Western Pakistan from Oman to Pakistan which has not occurred on this map.

October 1958 – January 1959, (Final quarter of 1958)
Why after 1958:
Ghana became independent in 1957
Guinea became independent in Oct. 1958
UAR Feb. 1958- Sept. 1961
Why before 1960:
Congo is still Belgian (1960+)
No Mali Federation (1960+)
Cameroon (Fr.) became independent in 1st Jan 1960
Togo became independent in Apr 1960
Oman without borders that means the map is before 1960
Cyprus (signed on Feb. 1959, Official independence 1960+)
French West Africa dissolved in 1958, but globes kept it for a year or two (Ya know, updates)
Six states of the Western Aden Protectorate joined to form the so called „Federation of Arab Emirates of the South“ on Februray 11, 1959

Israel already exists and Indochina is still french so between 1948-1954 that’s my best guess
