This is a wonderful representation of the universe with this 12” Mariner 9 Mars Globe from the 1970’s.

With a circumference of 38 inches around, this is a great size, not too small, but not too huge that it requires a large amount of space.

This looks like it was made by a certain company in 1973, but the base is missing with a name. It was from an estate where it was hung by strong 28 pound test line from the ceiling .

The company was Denoyer- Geppert 1973, having 12 paper gores mapping the topography of Mars.

Based on data gathered by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 1 / 16,700,000 scale, 16 inches in diameter with a metal loop post on top for hanging from the ceiling. This is in good condition. I see no problems. Both spheres are secure with this globe. It does not have a base, but those are not too hard to find if you needed a base.
