The 12" Replogle Moon Globe is a tabletop lunar globe that depicts the surface of the Moon with craters, maria, and reliefs.
Replogle was founded in 1930 in Chicago by Luther Irvin Replogle, who began by handcrafting globes with the goal of making them common household objects. His vision was to transform the globe from a school or academic instrument to an object that should be part of every home. His motto was "a globe in every home."
During the 20th century, it became the world's largest globe manufacturer, combining artisanal techniques with industrial production. As it expanded, it adopted industrial methods while maintaining a tradition of craftsmanship throughout many stages of production.
The founder's name remains closely linked to the brand's identity: Luther Replogle was also the United States Ambassador to Iceland from 1969 to 1972.
