I had this globe years ago and the old guy I bought it from was a retailer.
He had told me that the name running down the obelisk wasn't pronounced like it was spelled.
He had told me it was pronounced "HI-OTT-TANE"
anyone else ever heard this?

Pronounce it anyway you want, it's only spelled one way.

Nice globe and not the easiest globe to come by. Its on my list of globes I hope to own someday. I have always heard in pronounced HI-O-TANE. Maybe Lonnie, or Roger can tell us how to pronounce it


Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

Are you sure the Guy you bought it from wasn't "HI-ON-SUMTHIN"!!!LOL!!!

I would have to guess it is pronounced the way it is spelled.
