Recently I heard or read (maybe dreamt?) an odd thing about
globes....that even if a globe had been made in Europe, but a US globe
maker or seller label was affixed over the European globe maker name,
that the globe would be considered American.....  All that seems at odds
with archival principles. Perhaps a globe expert can enlighten me here.

It could have been a very realistic dream....I am an "Antiques Roadshow"
fan, but I don't recall where this globe label thing originated. If the
above is true, why?

Inquiring minds want to know...
