Item Details

Description

Trippensee Planetarium Company.
A School Tellurium.
Height 14"; Length 21".

Extending out from the pillar, an arm with metal tag with maker's name. At the end of the arm is a 3 inch Rand McNally globe, and plaster moon ball, the planets all connected by chain gearing so that as the arm moves the planets rotate.
