Vintage 1985 Sesame Street World Globe Rand McNally Muppets Educational Globe US

Scarce Vintage 1985 Sesame Street world globe by Rand McNally featuring classic Muppet characters across a detailed pictorial map.

Harry Monster appears off the coast of South America, adding to the interactive, storybook feel of the piece. Produced in the USA in collaboration with Children’s Television Workshop, this is a nostalgic educational item that bridges learning and character design from the 1980s.
