Ohio Art Globe – Zodiac Base This globe was made by the Ohio Art Co. of Bryan Ohio. I don’t see any dates as to when it was made. It sits on a tin base with signs of the Zodiac around the base, and the base measures 6-1/2 inches across. The holder is plastic and the bottom tip is off, and I believe it is inside the globe; it rests fine on the base without that tip. There is also a dent in the S. Atlantic Ocean. All in all I’d say this was in pretty good shape for its age, resting on the base it stands approximately 11-1/2 inches height, graphics are good. Has Congo (changed 1971) has Omon (1970) Has French West Africa (changed early 1960’s) - Germany is not divided (1949) The girth at equator is 29 inches around.
