Dear Brian, Kathy, and others:

Last year I purchased a new globe to replace our 70s vintage, and late 30s
vintage globes.  I selected a Replogle globe, 16-inch (or about 40.5 cm),
purchased from MapLink of Santa Monica, California.

http://www.maplink.com/

This is the Edinburgh, blue ocean.  The same globe comes in 'Antique
Ocean', parchment-toned, as well, called Cambridge.  Their website
indicates it is temporarily out of stock, but is expected soon (April 9).
It is depicted with a wooden pedestal, but I found that unnecessary to
use.  The metal base is sufficient; the globe can be attached directly
onto it.  I have it on the counter top above some shelves of atlases.

I hope this helps.
