A globe that spins once every 23 hours and 56 minutes

I am looking for a globe that spins exactly once every 23 hours and 56 minutes. I believe this is the only globe in the world that does this. And it’s discontinued. #savetheearth

Any other globes out there that spin on their own?

There are the are “MOVA globes” that constantly spin because of the magnetic field of the earth and solar panels hidden inside the globe (explained by this video). But man, those things spin fast. If the actual Earth spun that fast, everything on the surface of the planet would shredded to pieces. (“what if” by xkcd covers this.)

If you find any globes that spin at the proper rate, please let me know.
