A similar globe is described by van der Krogt as KKh 7, the Antarctic bearing the names Enderbij's L., Sabrina L., Adelie L., Peter E. I., Keiz. Alexander I L. and Victoria Ld., which are found on the present example, and the number 9 stamped on the meridian circle below the hour ring, as has this example. Van der Krogt describes the ecliptic as "divided in pieces of 10 degrees": the ecliptic on this globe is graduated 10 20 30 10 20 30 ... , which also seems to match.
The company was originally started by Johann Georg Klinger (1764-1806). Dekker and van der Krogt state that "his widow continued to run his firm under the name 'J.G. Klinger's Kunsthandlung'. In 1831, the company was bought by Johann Paul Dreykorn (1805-75), who continued to run it under the same name. The merchant Carl Abel, who joined the company in 1852, was less modest; from about this time onwards, the publisher's name on the globes was given as 'C. Abel Klinger'" (p. 106).
