Maybe there have been others out there with it like that, and I did not notice the difference. But that globe is an authentic Witco for sure. They all vary since they were hand-assembled, and the carvings vary too since they were done by different workers at different times. Some of the cuts in some of the continents look kinda crude on yours for example. But the hoop has a nice curve, mine that graces the end pages of Tiki Modern was so under tension, I went nuts trying to push thru the ends so it would not touch the globe for the photo, but it always slid back and I had to let it be.
