The terrestrial globe: 43 in. (109.5 cm.) high, 24¹⁄₂ in. (62.5 cm.) diameter, in its stand

The celestial globe: 44 in. (112 cm.) high, 24 in. (61 cm.) diameter, in its stand

Both lower compasses are probably later or with replacements, each lacking a needle. The celestial globe is also lacking the brass bezel around its underlying compass. There is some warping to each of the compass rings at the top. Each globe is sitting in its stand with some contact/friction with the equator ring of the stand; in need of restorative attention.
