Between May 1961 and November 1965. South Africa is a republic, and Rhodesia is still British.
DDR stopped existing in 1990, so at least this old
Between 1962 and 67 given the existence of Federation of South Arabia
West Pakistan
Dating an old globe usually can’t be done by age stamped on it most don’t have a production date printed. Instead, experts look at the place names and borders printed on the map to estimate when it was made. For example, if it shows USSR it’s from 1990 or earlier, if it shows British Honduras instead of Belize it’s likely pre‑1981, and older colonial names like Persia or Siam point to much earlier dates. You’d need clear photos of the globe to narrow it down, but identifying obsolete countries/places is the key to estimating the age.
this question is so refreshing, most people on here just want to date the darn thing. I’m glad you showed some respect! 😉
Y’all are magnificent. That’s all I’m here to say.
Between 1947 and 1971. That is when west Pakistan (pic #3) was a thing. Also UAE shown as Trucial Coast came in to being in 1971.
Mid 60s. Tanzania instead of Tanganyika so post 1964. Jordan has not yet ceded its SE corner to Saudi Arabia so pre 1965. 1964-1965
1960-1969.
My basis: Somali
For those that want to date maps/globes themselves, there’s an XKCD flow chart that will get you very close:

Mediterranean Sea is filled in, so it gotta be less than 100,000 years old
