American Made office supplies, electronics, clocks, pens, pencils, packaging tape, writing pads, world globes are shown below. Interesting to note is that several objects listed here are some of the oldest in the history of civilization. Globes are a good example. They are essentially much the same as they were 1,500 years ago. Other things have change a lot. Pens, for dipping into a pigment, were made of reeds, followed by sharpened quills. Prior to that, rigid pointed tools were used to scratch onto a hard surface such as stone, cave walls, and turtle shells.Things like tape are a modern development. As for the globes, they are much the same. You can see, below, one of the most beautiful and famous globes in the world, the work of Vincenzo Coronelli. Another early globe maker was Johannes Schoner whose work can be seen in Wikipedia. Globes are an enormous asset for an office where a large group of people can instanty see relative geographical locations. Similarly, globes serve as a teaching aide.
