    Don't want a new one. Looking for a tabletop model that looks antique. I'm doing a portrait and want to have a globe on the table next to the sitter. I know I can always find an image online, but it won't have the right shading if it's not in front of me. They're heckin' expensive now! I just want a good used one similar to this. The new ones look too bright and shiny.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    About 20-25 years ago I found this globe at a garage sale. It's from the 1970s, but has a faded sort of look. I think you are looking for different colors, not so faded looking. But you might consider looking at estate sales, yard sales, or thrift stores. (The latter is probably not as likely.) The seller of this globe was asking only 50 cents for it.
