Unisphere 1964 Worlds Fair - NY - Earth Globes on Waymarking.com

This is still the World's Largest World, designed as the centerpiece for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Twelve stories tall, weighing 700,000 pounds, the Unisphere was built in just over five months, and made of stainless steel so that it will never rust. World capitals on the Unisphere used to be lit with little bulbs at night, but not any longer. The three rings encircling it represent the orbits of Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (the first Russian), Astronaut John Glenn (the first American), and Telstar (the first active communications satellite).
