This is a vintage 1980's Seo Jeon World Globe Bank that was made in Korea and imported into Canada by the Hudson's Bay Company. Seo Jeon has been known as Korea's Premier globe maker since the 1970s. These are very hard to find in such beautiful condition. This particular globe is dated to 1985 due to the fact that it has the country Burkina Faso on it but not Côte d'Ivoire. http://www.longwood.edu/cleanva/datingglobes.htm
