Old
Road Maps
They
used to be an almost universal item in any glove compartment box back before gps
and the internet road maps have been around at least since the 1700's. They gained
popularity in the 1920's as gas stations and state travel agencies used them as
free give-aways. They have interest to several groups including people who collect
petrolium related items, map collectors and those who are interested in the map's
location. This allows for many different specialities for these collectors. Maps
from service stations, locations from government agencies, from a time period
like the 50's. The most in demand maps at least on eBay are those that are petrolium
or government based and before 1940. Finding these in a garage sale or a lot could
be a very good find.
