The Replogle Freedom Desktop Globe is perhaps the most patriotic model in the esteemed line from the American manufacturer. The walnut-finish hardwood base supports a brass finish bald eagle with outstretched wings. Gold accents color the statue, which holds the full, antique brass-plated, die-cast meridian. Latitudinal calibrations mark the 360 degree meridian. In spite of the highly ornamental base, the Replogle globe's antique-ocean political map still shines. The parchment-colored oceans are offset by the pale pastel shades of the landmasses' political boundaries. Compass roses, cartouches and legends can be found on the beige oceans, along with small sailboats, which show the routes of many pioneering early explorers. The Replogle Freedom Desktop Globe has a raised relief. That means that planet's epic mountain ranges are represented three dimensionally on the surface of the world globe. This provides the model with a textural approximation of the planet's rugged surface. The sphere is situated at a 23.5 degree tilt, also like Earth. This patriotic desktop globe is a celebration of both our country, and the world as a whole. The bald eagle symbolizes America's goal of maintaining freedom through peace and fortitude, making this world globe a bright light in Replogle's esteemed line.
