Globe Trotting

Bellerby&Co.com

Of course the completely awesome Bellerby & Co. Globemakers is based in London. I can almost smell the tobacco and tea in their name.

But this commitment to tradition - and a company name that sounds like it's been around since the 1700's- was actually started in 2008 by a man who wanted to give his 80-year-old grandfather a quality globe as a gift.  Not finding one to his satisfaction, he decided to make one.
