I don't normally collect maps, but I'd love to have one of these. Anyone out there have a duplicate? It doesn't have to be from Penn. and thanks Doc and Gary for the image of this old station, in the Showcase forum.
Thanks, and Merry Christmas !
Don

Years ago I attended a local auction of a very old Mobil dealer going out of business. Two of the items I purchased were two Mobil map racks. They weren't really map racks, but map holder, meaning there was just room enough for two stacks of maps side by side. This applied to both of the map holders. One of them was from Lubrite here in St. Louis, and the other was from a few years later. Both holders were identical in manufacturer but had different screening on them. Both screening were very dirty so I scanned them and then cleaned them up using Corel Draw. Here is what they look like. The only reason I am posting them is the map you are looking for would look great standing in the first one.
Sorry, both were sold years ago.
