Vintage 1958 In Flight Route Map – Eastern Airlines & Avis

Description: This 1958 Eastern Airlines route map was issued by Eastern Airlines and Avis. This is a booklet that opens to 8.25” x 8” and has 16 pages. The date code on the map is “W458-A5”. This map is in excellent original condition as shown in the photos and came from the archives of General Drafting. There is a 1957copyright date on the map, but the storage envelope from General Drafting listed the publication date as 5/14/1958 and the car on the cover is a 1958 Ford. I bought part of this archival collection about 6 years ago and the rest of it recently. I first saw some listed on eBay and bought them. The seller explained that she had a few more boxes of these from the General Drafting archives and I was able to buy the lot. Her husband and another guy were in charge of donating the maps to the Newberry Library when their company bought General Drafting. One pallet of maps would not fit into the two semi-trucks filled with the maps. They made several attempts to contact the library to make alternative arrangement for shipping the maps but got no response. So they split them up and took them home. She told the other guy of my interest in these maps and he recently contacted me and I was able to also buy them.Shipping within the United States will be by First Class Postage.
