Replogle is also now owned by Herff Jones. Herff
Jones distributes some of the NGS globes, but not
all. Their future is uncertain at this
point. Herff Jones also recently closed the
Spherical Concepts line of clear acrylic globes -
a sad loss as they were unique and offered
something different from the standard
NGS/Replogle blue ocean - antique ocean cartography.
