Overall in good restored condition. The coast lines of the continents and islands appear to have been colored in with a green paint or marker. The gores appear to be in good condition and with small restorations. Some small nicks and restorations through the southern hemisphere, particularly around the south pole. Few losses in the varnish of the globe: two in Australia, and two off the southern coast of Australia. The stand appears to be in good condition, with some nicks and wear consistent with age and use.
