Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion What year is this map from?

Inside of it there are two cards a person glued that had everywhere they went on their trip. The card is dated when they left on the trip and when the came back which was 1934. Is this map from the early 30s or before them?

I have a 1931 road map, the graphics look similar so I imagine the dates are close.... Looking at the 2 maps, I have a feeling yours is older....

The condition of yours is much better though. With the condition that mines in(holes where it's folded in the middle, bug holes here and there, and some other tears) I don't know if the cards glued in can harm the value any more than the map has done to itself lol. It's got some real neat graphics in it though.

There should be a code number inside the bottom right of the map.
You can take that code and look up the first number on this website to date it. If that doesn't work check back, I am sure there will be some map collectors along later today to help.

The style of the cars is 1934-1936.

I believe that's a 1933 map.
