Johnnie,

Nope, these were relative sizes. Mars was even weighted to show that it
was
heavy relative to its size. Earth is about 18 in. in diam. and Moon and
Mercury about 6 in. Mercury is blank on one side, not mapped at the time
(and still not mapped)

They might be hard to find. E-Bay maybe?

Sincerely,
David Bigwood

These globe sets were ca. 6" in diameter each, all the same size...not
in
relative size as the prof wanted.

If these sets are wanted, I would check "natural History" museum shops
online, and school supply sites. Just a guess.

Julie,

This sounds like what they want, but with a 1981 date they could be hard
to
find. The set had Earth, the moon, Mars and Mercury. The Earth globe had
rather detailed ocean bottoms.
