OK, so it's a mapping globe covered in
small curved bits of cork stuck on with a
strong glue.
Stick pins in holiday destinations or
locataions of friends. Pin phone
messages
from the mother-in-law over colder parts
of the world.
(?) Apparently cork globes

does it come with the traditional stand or just roll about? |

I thought a small dished base, so that

roll it down a hill and throw darts at it to find your next holiday destination
on second thought running with darts is not a good idea. |
