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

The set had Earth, the moon, Mars and Mercury. The Earth globe had rather detailed ocean bottoms.

I've searched for a day or two and have come up empty handed. Perhaps one of you could help. First, he wants a very detailed globe that shows the ocean floor. I have found one called Land & Ocean Globe. It is not detailed enough. Second, he is looking for a set of globes depicting the Earth, the moon, and Mars (and possibly Venus) in correct scale to one another. I don't want one of the small solar system simulators where the sun is in the center and the planets revolve around it. If I could find a set where Mars was about 16" in diameter and the others in relative size, that would be great. Any help would be appreciated! I've got our physics/astrophysics librarian on the hunt as well.
