The globe is "among the earliest representations of the Americas..." according to the label text, written by Special Collections staff. The globe is accompanied by the Gutenberg Bible, well, NYPL's copy... These are in Room 316, the Salomon Gallery, for a temporary stay. Will let you know end date when I can ferret that out. The Special Collections staff put these out on display with no notice to staff or public, as far as I know, so I apologize for lack of info. here.
