Beautiful illuminated globe from 1960

Scored a 16″ illuminated floor globe by Cram’s this weekend. According to the timeline at Omniterrum, this globe dates from 1960 or 1961. Egypt and Syria are shown together as the United Arab Republic (1958-1961), French West Africa has dissolved (1960), and Tanzania is still identified at Tanganyika (until 1961).
