Hi everyone: I responded directly to David, Green Dragon Bindery restored a 1880's globe for the UA this year. We were very happy with the work they did and working with them. I would definitely recommend them, in particular Matt Jones!

It is ca.1927 and rare enough that the only other surviving match is in Oregon State (who restored theirs a number of years back). OSU shared their process and problems with us so we know a bit about the piece. Being a State institution, we will have to make some requests for bids and do a few other things before we can start anything. Our director is interested in getting bids/quotes so that she can make a case for raising funds, or for getting a donor to provide. What I would like from all of you are suggestions for preservation companies who restore globes and also the furniture they rest upon. The stand was made by a world renowned local company. The globe is made by a company in the UK. Any suggestions are appreciated. If you have questions, or ideas, feel free to contact me directly if you wish.
