Dear Friends,
Welcome to the September issue.
Globes Anyone?
The sphericity of the Earth was established by Hellenistic astronomy
in the 3rd century BCE, and the earliest terrestrial globe appeared
from that period.
The earliest known example is the one constructed by Crates of Mallus in Cilica (now Turkey), in the mid-2nd century BCE. No terrestrial globes from Antiquity or the Middle Ages have survived. An example of a surviving celestial globe is part of a Hellenistic sculpture, called the Farnese Atlas, surviving in a 2nd century AD Roman copy in the Naples Museum, Naples Italy. Early terrestrial globes depicting the entirety of the Old World were constructed in the Islamic Golden Age.
One such example was constructed in the 9th century by Muslim geographers and cartographers working under the Abbasid Abbasid caliph, Al-Ma'mun.
Another example was the terrestrial globe introduced to Beijing by the Persian astronomer Jamal ad-Din in 1267. The oldest surviving terrestrial globe is credited to Martin Behaim in Nurnberg, Germany in 1492. A facsimile globe showing America was made by Martin Waldseemueller in 1507.
An unusually high proportion of vintage 20th century world globes feature the Australian town of Birdum which no longer exists but once held an important position at the end of the Northern Australian Railway. English: de l'Isle globe, 1765  | Some Unsusual Gobes we offer Here

HERE IS SOME FUN  | |
Electric Lamp Oil Warmers
To use our oil burners, simply add a few drops of your favorite scented oil to the oil dish and turn the warmer on. All of our oil burners have a dimmer switch that allows you to control the heat generated to warm the oil. Turn the dimmer switch down low and the halogen bulb heats the oil slowly, giving a light fragrance. Increase the intensity of the light and increase the level of the fragrance. The bulbs are replaceable and can be purchased through us or at any hardware store.
Our oil warmers are all UL Approved and come with a 5 ft electrical cord with dimmer switch built in.
The warmers vary in size so please refer to the item description for details.
All our oil warmers come carefully packaged in a gift box.
Please note there is no difference between an oil warmer and an oil burner.
