These are 2 in./5 cm across. Heavy for their size. They feel as hard as wood, but they start to shrivel in a few days. Originally enclosed in a fuzzy, leathery, light green coat, which easily peels off. Obviously I don't know the name of the tree, or I'd just say.

Pressurized water (25lbs/sq. inch) lets the Globe float freely on a fine film of water without danger to fingers. The Globe was weighted at the South Pole and offset by 23.5° to the sun before the continents were engraved. Left untouched the Globe eventually rotates around the Earth's axis point North towards the Polar Star." https://www.flickr.com/gp/hawaiiboy/6V74P7

It is what is called a Kugel fountain. OhLook wrote in post #18459409 Kevin, that globe is news to me. Is a magnet inside? No magnet. It floats on pressurized water. Just a light touch will spin it....even children can make https://www.flickr.com/gp/hawaiiboy/6V74P7

OhLook Spiderwoman 16,400 posts Gallery: 68 photos Best ofs: 2 Likes: 3402 Joined Dec 2012 Location: California: SF Bay Area More info | If there's no magnet, what causes the action described in this part? "Left untouched the Globe eventually rotates around the Earth's axis point North towards the Polar Star." (Maybe it should say "axis TO point"?) Now I'm thinking the mechanism may be simply the same inertia that makes a Foucault pendulum knock down pegs.
