My guess was it was from the 50s and I noticed it had "Territory of Hawaii" rather than it being the State of Hawaii and remembered I had just seen this thread so looked up the Statehood date which was August 21st, 1959. So the globe pre-dates that. Pretty cool to use Hawaii as the reference point. And interesting to learn here that it's celebrated on the third Friday as tomorrow is the actual anniversary.
