W151C  1908 Trippensee PLANETARIUM - 

This is an awesome item and it is in excellent all original condition! Just think, at one time just about every old country school had one of these in their classroom. Now, they are so hard to find. This planetarium is totally complete and in working condition. It has a wooden "arm" that still has the original brass tag that reads: THE TRIPPENSEE PLANETARIUM; PAT. U.S. MAR. 10, '08; CANADA JULY 21, '08; THE TRIPPENSEE MFG. CO.; DETROIT, MICH., U.S.A. It has the brass base which has names the months, astrology signs and the seasons. It has the turned wood foot and arm which is still in the original finish, very nice condition! The arm contains the brass tag mentioned earlier. It has the globe of the world which has the original paper litho. It has two wooden balls to represent moons. Then there is the large brass ball which represents the sun. All of the gears are in good working order, this planetarium is in excellent all original condition. It measures 13 1/2" tall and the wooden arm is 16 3/4" long. This planetarium is one of the nicest ones we have seen.  - SOLD
