i recently bought a box of maps/papers and found a map of 'Chicago and vicinity' with 'OKLAHOMA Refinery Fresh Gasolines' any idea how old and value? The map is red/white/blue with car/family in car/attendent/pump on front.

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.

I'd have to look it up for sure , but I believe the subsidiary "ovals " that comprised Standard new Jersey all aligned under the Exxon banner in 1968......... Ed Shaver

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.
