    Pictures with flash burn should be discarded and redone.

    It does appear to be a modernish reproduction of a 17th C style globe. Some of these open up to be drinks cabinets.

    Period globes will always have the publishers details somewhere in the gores (sections of map) but is is usually a matter of moments do date globes by the geography, names of countries and discovered areas change over time.

    18th C Globe makers published updated gores that could be stuck to the globe to include new discoveries.

    Yeah - I didn't think they had paper printed stickers in the 17thC ;)

    Difficult to tell from your photographs but yours appears to be one of the decorative globes that came out of Italy in the 1960s.

    Sadly I agree with the others. The one orrery I've ever had looked old initially, but didn't stand up under scrutiny. The same sort of thing as yours:

    I'm glad you said 60s as I was thinking 1960-70; simply because of the graphics on the tag
