\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Upgrading a collection is something that gets only passing coverage , \u00a0this post hopes to change that. \u00a0 \u00a0If you’ve been collecting anything for a while then you know that sometimes you’ve got to buy a better example of something you already have and sell the other item in order to upgrade, \u00a0 without this selling you run the risk of becoming a hoarder ! \u00a0 \u00a0This is the tale of one such upgrade.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Months ago I purchased this very nice Hammond’s celestial globe:<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I was happy and content, \u00a0these globes are not easy to find and are usually not in as nice a shape, \u00a0 I was happy until last week that is when I was cursing Ebay and I discovered this:<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\n\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This is the same globe, \u00a0but in a more desirable mount, and with slightly better original color, \u00a0so I knew I had to UPGRADE. \u00a0 \u00a0This is a great example of an upgrade situation. \u00a0These is a clear betterment, and the other globe being redundant is best sold and moved into someone else collection for them to enjoy. \u00a0 \u00a0This new Hammond’s globe condition wise is excellent, \u00a0as is the condition of the one it will replace. \u00a0The horizon band is a nice touch, \u00a0had this globe not come along or had the price been ridiculous I could have just as easily not bought it and been content. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 However the right place at the right time situation worked out and I was able to make the switch. \u00a0Here is another shot of the globe:<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Celestial globes in my mind deserve attention as perfect companions to any terrestrial globe in a collection. \u00a0American globe makers made some of the most stunning celestial globes in the world over the past 200 years, below Ive got a picture of 3 of my favorite globes from 1880-1950, all celestial and all beautiful. \u00a0Interesting to see how over time cost pressure demanded that things get less ornate and more utilitarian over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
