This 1962? North
& South Carolina road map was issued by the Humble Oil & Refining
Company (Esso). This map is in excellent original condition as shown in the
photo and came from the General Drafting Map Company archives. The map has a
1961 copyright and a legend date of November 1961. However, the map date code is “P861” but the
archival envelope that it was stored in is dated 1962 with a publishing date of
11-6-61. The cover is totally different than the 1961 and 1963 issues, so it is
the 1962 issue in spite of the dating on the map! If there is a stamp or
writing on the top of the front cover, it was put there by the General Drafting
Company since this map is from their archival files.
I was fortunate to
locate and buy several boxes of archival maps from the General Drafting Map
Company after they were bought out by Langenscheidt and absorbed into the
American Map Company. There is a wide variety of maps types and all are like
new. Over the next few years, I will be offering many of these here on eBay.
Shipping within the United States will be by First Class Postage. If you
purchase multiple items, you can use the cart and request an invoice with

all excess postage paid through eBay.
Please contact me if

for additional maps. I also have many listed in my eBay store “Vintage Maps and
More”.
