History/Provenance: The Floor Pedestal Globe was first produced at APH in 1954. The original model cost $225. The globe was still available in the 1980 catalog, although few were apparently being sold: production between 1975 and 1979 averaged 17 per year. It appears in the 1981 Catalog of Educational Aids; "dropped" has been stamped on the catalog entry. By 1984, the floor model had been removed from the catalog.
