Replogle Globes is one of the most well-known globe manufacturers in the world, founded in 1930 by Luther Replogle in Chicago, Illinois. His vision was to make globes accessible to everyone, not just scholars or institutions.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship & Innovation
- Early Beginnings: Luther and his wife, Elizabeth, started the company in their apartment with just $500 borrowed from friends.
- Growth & Recognition: Their first major success came when Marshall Field & Company selected Replogle to produce a globe for the Chicago Century of Progress World’s Fair in 1933.
- World War II Influence: During WWII, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt encouraged families to have a globe handy during his radio addresses, increasing demand.
- Handcrafted Excellence: Originally, Replogle globes were assembled by hand, with cartographers creating exclusive maps.
Notable Products & Innovations
- The Diplomat Globe: A 32-inch diameter globe featuring over 22,000 place names, owned by several U.S. Presidents.
- Expanding Beyond Earth: Replogle also produces globes of Venus, Mars, the Moon, and the celestial sphere.
- Modern Advancements: Today, they offer raised relief globes, illuminated models, and interactive globes with augmented reality (AR).
Ownership & Evolution
- In 1959, Luther sold the company to Meredith Publishing (owner of Better Homes and Gardens) but continued leading it until 1969, when he became U.S. Ambassador to Iceland.
- The company has changed hands multiple times, including ownership by the Bill Nickels family and later Herff Jones in 2010.
Replogle remains a symbol of curiosity, education, and design, producing globes that are both functional and decorative.
