Maps are very visual in their collectibility. Graphics, condition and age can be better determined with pictures or a scan.

I don't how old the brand was but I think the oldest Oklahoma map is 1953 and the newest is 1960. Older ones list locations.

Oklahoma went to Enco hereabouts first, and the trademark reappeared in the late 70s/early 80s. The map is a decent find. I'd say $12-15.
