Vintage Constellation globe

This is a very old and very well kept constellation globe. Used by ship for navigation and astronomers back in the day. The globe itself is about 12 inch in diameter and sits on a wooden stand making it about 16 inches across and about 20 inches tall. The stand has 360 degrees scale on it. The globe is held by a brass ring and it has marks etched out on that. The globe is transparent black with the 88 constellations on it in color coded variable stars and positions. It contains more information but a bit much to write it all out here. If you have question I will try to answer them as best I can. There is only one other globe i could find comparable to this one and they are asking 1500.00. However theirs is sitting on a wire frame. This one is as old and sitting on a carved wooden frame. This one is definetely nicer . it has a few scratches on the wooden frame. However that's it. This globe is worth much more that the 1500.00 being sought with the wire frame. Looking up globe makers of this particular type of celestial globe, prices vary. Newer celestial globes are cheaper but still expensive for ones on this type of stand. Smaller ones exist for less naturally. There aren't ones that are bigger. So ones this size of this type, even new are expensive. Some can go upwards of 4 to 8 thousand. Smaller ones can go up to a thousand. This exact globe can not be located. I dont see any out there exactly like it. So this one is rate to almost extinct. The 1 almost like this one for sale at 1500,00. Trust that this one is better looking by far. However, I am only going to ask 700.00. And that is justifiable for a vintage rare celestial globe and it is only half of what I believe it is worth at minimum.
