Perhaps an antiquarian dealer would feel that way, call it American, raise
the flag, red white & blue, huzzah... but, and I am not a cataloger, I
would call such a globe by its original nationality in cataloging, with a
note as to the superimposed label.

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...
