Whoa, Nick made a seriously thorough collection of gas station maps!



Just one example, and the top half is the front, and the bottom half the back


another example. Each map shows what that oil company made for that year, and the collection is for other map owners to be able to have one site to look at with a nearly complete collection so they can  date their maps accurately

"a photo map dating website for Oil Company Road Maps, so map collectors and sellers can date their maps as easily and accurately as possible. Also, new and experienced collectors will be able to see what is out there to collect"

  1. This is awesome. I've picked up a bunch of these at a couple of garage sales/estate sales in the last 15 years. Two of them had a collection of maybe 20 or 30 maps that I got for about $5.

    2. I bought a couple at the swap meet to put on the dash or car seat when showing it at a car show or cruise night. Things that would be perfectly correct for 1969, the right year coins in the ash tray, a book of matches from a local store but made in the 60s or 70s
