    Description

    Excellent condition lot of approximately twenty-four (24) punch-out paper sheets called Form-A-Globe, educational aids for students to make their own globe and study geography.  Made by Nystrom & Co.
    An instruction sheet to the teacher says "FORM-A-GLOBE is a valuable tool for increasing a student's understanding of what a globe is and how it can be used.   The latitude-longitude grid system is introduced, and related skills are acquired by doing the exercises."   "FORM-A-GLOBE shows how cartographers divide the Earth into sections called gores before a globe is printed and formed."
    The back of the instruction sheet includes exercises the teacher can use in the classroom.
    Each sheet measures 20"
    x 14"
    We carefully counted the sheets, but might not have included every one in the count for fear of damaging the sheets.   Twenty-four is an estimate.
    We are not sure when these were produced but the company address includes a zip code, so it must be after 1963.
    No damage to the sheets that we can see.  A couple of the punch-outs at the top of the pile are pulling away slightly from handling.
