A pair of Cary pocket globes comprising a terrestrial globe and a celestial globe, each in a fitted fishskin case. They issued a companion celestial globe, with the interior of the case painted orange. These two Cary globes were located separately from different sources, and now are offered as a pair. The celestial pocket globe, with wooden axis pins at the poles, having engraved and hand colored gores, set within a spherical conforming hinged papier mache fishskin-covered case, fitted with two hooks and eyes, the interior of the case lacquered orange as issued. A nearly identical globe, in the collection of the Duke of Windsor, was sold by Sothebys.
