Orrery, Planetarium, Trippensee

Price: $1200.00

A nice, early Trippensee Planetarium Orrery. This orrery is from the early part of the 1900’s. This was used as a teaching aid to show the relationship of the earth to the moon and the rotation of the earth around the sun. This orrery does not have any electrical lights. The electrical ones were after the 1940’s I believe. The brown plastic part of the base of this orrery has been replaced and so has the orb that rotates around the earth. The rest of it is original. The orrery measures about 19 inches long. The base is weighted so the orrery will not tip as you are rotating the orbs.
