I've seen this before, but whenever I run across it, I can't help watching it several times:

1. Who knew?

Do they even make globes anymore?

2. Golden Globes

Every year for the awards program.

12. They do. PBS has a series of shows called "Made With Love in..."

and they show artisan work from various countries including a globe maker in England. He makes custom globes with a team of skilled workers. They are pricey, but they can put in little variants like the town where someone was born, for example. They are also stunningly beautiful.

3. I remember 1955 well.

Looked just like the film. Dressed like that and moved at that speed.

10. And so much of it seemed drab, colorless

even though it was a time of bright yellow kitchens with gingham curtains. Everything else seemed to be shades of grey: greenish grey, pinkish grey, brownish grey. Well, except for bedrooms, there was always a pink one and a blue one and I always got stuck with the pink one so it's a color I'm not fond of to this day.

I think my impression of such a drab world was gained from TV and movies, all of the former and most of the later B&W. The funny part is that I prefer the old B&W movies now, color tended to be cheap and garish.

It was a time that should have been great for white men, they got to be Daddy Bug Bucks, even men who pushed brooms wee paid enough got supply the house with a fridge and washing machine. plus a used ar so he didn't have to take the bus to work. It was not a good time for anyone else, there were rigid rules for everything.

1955 is why we all started to turn to drugs 10 years later.

4. Wow. Simply beautiful. Of course, I could do that also.

Except mine would look like a grapefruit hit by a Freight Train.

5. They knew how to handle their balls.

He carries his in a wheelbarrow.

7. Here is the YouTube version of the video

I won't go to Twitter (X) and I won't share it with anyone.

Really cool video!

15. Thanks.

[Bo Zarts]

8. I have one right here by my desk that is about that vintage ..

My wife found it in an antique shop in about 1975. I love it, although some of the political boundaries are no longer accurate.

9. Thank you tblue 37

11. In high school, I not only had a globe of the earth.....

but a globe of the moon as well. Had to make space for books in college, so finally tossed 'em.....

[Brother Buzz]

14. That's about the time our wonderful globe appeared in the house

My mother still has it and has said for years, "Globe makers need to make them with Velcro so we can updated them". Ours still has USSR

16. Hate to see that guy shooting lacquer without a respirator.

He probably had severe neurological damage later in life.
