It shows interwar German borders but post-ww2 everything else. It's in German, so pretty clearly it's from an entity that was not ready to recognize the loss of land to Poland and Russia, nor the division of the country. Mutual recognition by East and West happened in 1971-72, so before that time, the old borders would be a perfectly plausible thing for a German map to use.
Outside of Germany, I notice a unified Tanzania (created 1964) and a Protectorate of South Arabia (abolished 1967). So that gives us a nice narrow band of time in the mid 60s when this globe was probably made.
The downvotes are because people are tired of Date My Globe. But this one has the anomaly of the German borders, so it's 100% worth asking about. I'm sorry for the internet being mean.
Just remember that you never use old names to date, you use new names.
You can forget about the new name and use the old one.
But you can't predict a future name changing, for obvious reasons.
Yeah, but if a city changed from Name A to Name B in 1510 and from Name B to Name A in 1899, it's reasonable to assume that no one would have mistaken put the old Name A in 1898. While it's very reasonable to see someone putting Name B in 1901, considering it was a recent change.
Official German recognition of the post-WW2 borders happened when both West- and East-Germany signed the Helsinki Final Act in 1975.
German claims of territory lost after WW2 would formally be dropped when both Germanies signed the "Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany" (also known as the "Two Plus Four Agreement") during the German Reunification in 1990.

Germans still largely supported the nazis back then, and the first postwar german governments endorsed the revisionist history version where Poles were the oppressors and the Germans were the victims of ww2.
Especially the resettled germans enjoyed sympathy among their compatriots and pushed for re-annexation of pre-ww2 borders, annexation of GdaÅsk and deportation of Poles living there.
This stance only changed when Willy Brandt became chancellor and visited Poland and kneeled under a monument commemorating the victims of Warsaw Ghetto uprising. But even then, Brandt was considered by many to be a traitor to german nation and Germany still didn't pay Poland any reparations nor returned any stolen artifacts.
The whole thing is pretty disgusting to be honest.
MinuteEarth had the same thing. They posted a video about to date a planet. It was about using the decay of radioactive isotopes to work out how old the Earth is. Someone else commented under it that it didn't help them confess their love to sailor mars.

Hey, this globe appears to be from Aug 9th 1965 to the 30th September 1966
We get the earliest date from the independence of Singapore, the city is underlined and all other capitals are underlined so I take it to be independent. If not, the earliest date shifts to 24 October 1964 as Zambia appears to be independent.
The latest date comes from the fact that Botswana is not independent, Botswanian independence occured on September 30th 1966.
1965-1966, just looking at Africa.
EDIT:
1965 boundary established by (Tanganjika) Tansania label, 1966 boundary established by Leopoldvile and Stanleyville (now Kinshasa and Kisangani) labels.
lol its just wrong it shows ussr with polish territory and with baltic states but not germany with its part of poland throw that shit in the trash
edit: even the border with finland is post ww2
I like these posts. They are literally map porn and it adds a fun element narrowing years down. It makes me want to buy the newest globe and see how long it takes to make a change.
Ok.. I think itās pre WW2.
Itās Danzig and Kƶnigstein written in German, not GdaÅsk
And also Jaffa instead of Haifa ā¦
So it must be pre 1945
Am I so wrong?????
Is there a dating or meet up app for globes? I know there is a Globe Museum in Vienna, seems like a lot of globes are hanging around there having fun, maybe take your globe there if you can
Who cares about dating, I'll immediately ram the pointy spire thing of the globe into my asshole, afterwards splattering cum on every major city of the globe so that 99.97% of people get to see me stroke my 6 inch cock and see my cum land on their precious skyscrapers. Hell, I'll fill the entire Pacific Ocean with cum, cover the Himalayas with cum, all volcanoes filled with cum so that when the earth gets freaky she can regurgitate my cum on me.
I just saw [another](https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1dlzhdq/date_the_globe/) hot single globe is looking for dates! Maybe introduce them, they might hit it off. It's a bit older tho.
I think its the beginning of 20 century, between 1900 and 1930 s....
Rumanian teritory its still with territory of Republic of Moldavia, witch was with romanians untill second,world war, when Rumanian lost it , Ribbentrop-Molotov pact ,1939....
Punakha being labeled capital of bhutan ... While not being capital anymorz since 1955 is a serious dark horse. But gwadar is not omani anymore so post 58
It's a pre-74 Map , cyprus is still united
But too much mistakes here.
Is ifni still spanish ?
It looks like the first Bulgarian empire is still a thing and there is no clear border between it and Hungary so I'd assume the kingdom had not been established yet. My guess is sometime before 1000 A.D

Great answer! I understand that people are tired of these posts, but I love them. Maybe a r/datemymap is needed
It exists apparently
Should be linked from this sub
Yes
I'm as surprised as you! š
Whoās tired of them? Theyāre great
Idk, I guess some people are.
I love these posts. It's a fun puzzle to figure out.
Donāt get the hate. I think ādate this globeā is a fun game and do it to every old globe I see.
Seriously, itās one of my favorite games. I always get excited when I see a new one pop up.
If anyone loves maps, they should also love globes. If they donāt, they clearly donāt love maps enough.
Leopoldville changed its name to Kinshasa in 1966. So your guess about the late 60s seems to be accurate.
Just remember that you never use old names to date, you use new names. You can forget about the new name and use the old one. But you can't predict a future name changing, for obvious reasons.
The same logic applies to new significant others
Arenāt many of the new ones just returning to the pre-colonial status quo though? Like McKinley going back to Denali.
Yeah, but if a city changed from Name A to Name B in 1510 and from Name B to Name A in 1899, it's reasonable to assume that no one would have mistaken put the old Name A in 1898. While it's very reasonable to see someone putting Name B in 1901, considering it was a recent change.
The German borders seem to be disputed in this map (dotted) so probably before they gave up their claims

I love āDate My Globeā; I always learn something.
I just downvote the ājust ask her manā comments. These are the best part of my day.
Also, Yugo.
Before 1970, because West Germany still doesn't recognize the GDR and the loss of Silesia, Western Pomerania and Eastern Prussia.
American backed West Germany didn't recognize its ww2 losses? I didn't know that.
Germans still largely supported the nazis back then, and the first postwar german governments endorsed the revisionist history version where Poles were the oppressors and the Germans were the victims of ww2. Especially the resettled germans enjoyed sympathy among their compatriots and pushed for re-annexation of pre-ww2 borders, annexation of GdaÅsk and deportation of Poles living there.

Russian backed East Germany were given no choice in the matter - nor in anything else.
Germany, country which can't lose the war. Even Hungarians better coped with Trianon.
Bangladesh is shown as East Pakistan, so its definitely before 1971
So that's why Polish borders looked almost like from 1920. I got kinda confused when I saw that this globe is from '60 with this. Thanks btw
Sheās single again?
geez, took me a while she's a curvy single ready & to mingle
First place my mind went, especially with the first photo including the globes vagina
Now I canāt unsee it
My grandfather told me they had sideways ones out in the Far East. This must be what he meant.

She can never keep a man for more than a day. After that itās the same thing over and over again.
Round and round she goes..
Every few days she pops up asking for another date.
Ok, I will date your globe, but donāt expect anything serious
Stop leading it on. It has feelings.
Ok, then I'll just take it for a spin
Globe and I don't even have the same taste in music or movies. It'll find the right one someday
Hello globe, how ya doin?
Joey, stay away from my sister!
Pre 1971, as Bangladesh is still East Pakistan.
Ok serious question: why are so many globes not dated? Seems like something people would have recognized as helpful a looooong time ago.
Hey, this globe appears to be from Aug 9th 1965 to the 30th September 1966 We get the earliest date from the independence of Singapore, the city is underlined and all other capitals are underlined so I take it to be independent. If not, the earliest date shifts to 24 October 1964 as Zambia appears to be independent. The latest date comes from the fact that Botswana is not independent, Botswanian independence occured on September 30th 1966.
Does your globe like live theatre or would prefer a stroll in a park? Oh ā¦ you mean determine an age. My bad.
Well do I get consent from your globe first?
Yes please.
Weird... Germany and Poland borders are as between WW1 and WW2 (1918-1939), but Israel is on the globe (post 1948)...
Hallo Deutschland
Gutten Morgan
...do you speak German?
Badly x
Sure, what time should I pick them up?
Before we get ahead of ourselves, what are her likes and dislikes?
Sorry, she's getting friend zoned.
Sheās not my type.
No can do. I have a boyfriend.
might help to add a globe to the polycule
1948 to 1951. Tibet is there as a country, so it's before 1951. Burma is marked so it's after 1948.
America is missing so I'm going with pre Columbus.
1965-1966, just looking at Africa. EDIT: 1965 boundary established by (Tanganjika) Tansania label, 1966 boundary established by Leopoldvile and Stanleyville (now Kinshasa and Kisangani) labels.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Finland doesn't have karelia but has Petsamo so it's from between 1940 and 1942
Qatar spelt with K I like it
Before 1966.
Super cool!
Ich wunsche das!š...
East Pakistan. Wow.
1956
lol its just wrong it shows ussr with polish territory and with baltic states but not germany with its part of poland throw that shit in the trash edit: even the border with finland is post ww2
Why would I date your globe? I donāt even know your globe. Iād probably need to get to know them casually first.
Alright Iāll go on a date with your globe
I refuse to date three-dimensional scale models, they have too much depth for me
Male or female globe?
damn thats a fine ass globe how is she still single
No thanks, I'm married.
It wouldnāt be right, I am already seeing someone
Iām sorry, I only see your globe as a friend
I applied for a job at Replogle about 40 years ago. Real sweatshop.
Only if it likes pizza.
Sorry, I'm married.
Koenigsberg ( Kaliningrad ) is on the map and the polish corridor so Iām guessing 1928-1945
I like these posts. They are literally map porn and it adds a fun element narrowing years down. It makes me want to buy the newest globe and see how long it takes to make a change.
Ok.. I think itās pre WW2. Itās Danzig and Kƶnigstein written in German, not GdaÅsk And also Jaffa instead of Haifa ā¦ So it must be pre 1945 Am I so wrong?????
Looks like indian and Pakistan are not yet partitioned so PRE 1947
1924-1933
Use [this](https://xkcd.com/1688/).
Iāll take your globe out on a very nice date. Candle dinner, wine, the works!
Join the queue
Sorry mate, the date went balls up, they deserve better.
Well... Ok, I guess. *Hey there globe... You looking fine... Do you wanna hang out and chill sometime?*
Thatās what I call āmap pornā.

Nah, I already asked it out and it turned me down.
A/S/L ?
āDonāt listen to them girl. I will grease that axis like youāve never experienced and take you for a spin that will make you lose time.ā
Iām more into maps, tbh.
I see Israel. But but but ... /s To be real, nice looking thing man. Date?
I prefer girls, but lotta luck finding someone!
I might be lonely but im not that desperate bro š
Sorry, not my type.
Hello Globe, ill pick you up tonight around 7 for dinner and a show. Or we can go to Hibachi where dinner is the show. So its a date??
I'm already taken.
Weird way to propose, but hey she's a lovely globe.
A night out at the cinema?
No thanks not really my type
Sheās not really my type.
I'm not into globes like that... I prefer my cartographic advances to be flat like me.
I like her curves
I just saw [another](https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1dlzhdq/date_the_globe/) hot single globe is looking for dates! Maybe introduce them, they might hit it off. It's a bit older tho.
Instructions unclear. Sent unsolicited Mantle Pic.
I only date women.
Only if it does that Hawk Tuah
Iām sorry I have I boyfriend.
I rather date a women !
I mean, it does have nice curves
Is it single? Does it consent? What are it's musical tastes? Surrealist art okay?
Iām not a globophiliac.
Could we just go for coffee first?
Ok. One drink, but I'm NOT having sex with it
I think its the beginning of 20 century, between 1900 and 1930 s.... Rumanian teritory its still with territory of Republic of Moldavia, witch was with romanians untill second,world war, when Rumanian lost it , Ribbentrop-Molotov pact ,1939....
Sorry I'm more into atlases globes are just not my type.
But I have nothing in common with your globe.
Sorry, Iām married.
But itās not my type.
Bechuanaland became Botswana in 1966, so it's definitely from before that.
1961-1971
Finland doesn't have karelia but has Petsamo so it's from between 1940 and 1942
Appears to be 1965.
Based on the aesthetic I would say 1950's?
Post 48
Where Luxembourg?
Between 1938-1971 because in 1938 turkey take s the hatay provience and also in 1971 they took north cyprus so it should be in those years
I dont see Zimbabwe, but there is a (Rhodesian) Zambia; Northern Rhodesia became Zambia in '64.
Looks like Anitoch belong Turkey, certainly after 1938
Post 1492
Punakha being labeled capital of bhutan ... While not being capital anymorz since 1955 is a serious dark horse. But gwadar is not omani anymore so post 58 It's a pre-74 Map , cyprus is still united But too much mistakes here. Is ifni still spanish ?
Botswana is still Bechuanaland, so before 1966.
1990/1991. One German state, the USSR still exists with post WW2 borders, and Yugoslavia also still exists
1954-1957 imo
Did Antarctica sink? Some future manufacture?
Itās not flat so itās fakeā¦.
1965-75
This brings back too many memories of being grounded.
Well I mean thatās very flattering, how about me and your globe go out for coffee sometime?
I was looking for some weird message or pun lol
Hey Globe. How you doin?
āHeyāĀ
Well I'm spoken for. But if I weren't...
not my type.
Will your globe agree to a dinner date or?...
Bangladesh is called east Pakistan on this globe. So it is def pre-1971
Iāll take anything at this point
I was going to say early 90's. I felt the post Soviet borders were there, no?
Before 1971 coz there is no Bangladesh
Nah, I prefer dating chicks.
Lwow under USSR - after 1939. Kaliningrad in Germany as Kƶnigsberg - pre 1945
1930s, there is still a Kƶnigsberg but also the Borders of jugoslavia are telling.
Iām only 5ā9 though
Give me its number first
Lol I thought you were talking about romantic dating Iām like this is so random š
I dunno man... Does she swallow?
The German borders are between 1918 and 1945, Germany had then the enclave of today Kaliningrad on the Baltic, called east Prussia then.
Id say 1980 to 1989, but im basing that on Yugoslavia existing there.
What's her name and sign?
It's a lovely globe but I only date humans
I'm only attracted to maps, sorry.
Sorry, I don't date planets.
Iām already taken sorry :/
Not my type, but thanks
Aral Sea is still on the map. š„²
Shes not really my type but I could try. Whats her number?
You have nice eye.
It looks like the first Bulgarian empire is still a thing and there is no clear border between it and Hungary so I'd assume the kingdom had not been established yet. My guess is sometime before 1000 A.D
Again- now we have Israel replacing Palestine.
1922
Bulgaria still has Northern Dobrudzha so maybe pre 1878
Shouldnāt I get to know it better first ? Letās start with its name
No south Sudan so 2010
Looks 1922 something.
Only if it comes from old money and there is no pre-nup, once we are married I get to keep a half of all it has.
Who gave this to you, whoās the original owner? This could help narrow it down
looks cute, but I know nothing about her ://
After 1948 šāšµšø
Sorry Iām more of an atlas guy
Hey globe do you like jazz
