A fine and rare terrestrial globe, containing a slightly smaller celestial sphere, both unsigned, each made up of two engraved hemispheres joined by screw thread at the equator.

Hollow earth conspiracy confirmed!

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
