<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WhereEaglesDare, post: 790800, member: 20600&quot;]I know this is not the right board for this, but this is where the Military Gurus hangout so I thought it would be the best spot.&nbsp; I appreciate any leniency the admins can afford. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this map on an auction a few years ago.&nbsp; I have tried to get a value for a while, but it is too uncommon.&nbsp; It has popped up on eBay a couple of times, but those maps are in not as good shape as this one.&nbsp; When they do they sell for around $275.00.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.scmpgaming.com/for%20sale/civil%20war%20map/map1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.scmpgaming.com/for%20sale/civil%20war%20map/map2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>More Info: <a href="http://www.davidrumsey.com/maps1100298-26999.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidrumsey.com/maps1100298-26999.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidrumsey.com/maps1100298-26999.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I know.&nbsp; It is a map of the union and the confederates during the war of northern aggression.&nbsp; It depicts the nations on June 30, 1863 (Battle of Gettysburg).&nbsp; It was printed as part of an atlas in 1895 and as far as local collectors can tell me the frame is around 40 years old (the Frame Shop marked on back went out of business in the 70s).&nbsp; It was printed by Julies Bien and Company in New York as part of an atlas.&nbsp; From what I have read not many of the full atlases are still around.&nbsp; The maps appear to be uncommon or <u>MAYBE</u> a little rare, but I&#039;m not sure either way.&nbsp; The only marks on it are from the original binding and the folds in the middle, along with a tiny brown spot in the upper left corner, other than that it seems to be in great condition (I will not crack the frame open to get a better look).</p><p><br /></p><p>It is really cool too, because you can see different anomalies, like the capital of Georgia was Milledgeville, not Atlanta.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas on a value?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
