 CUSTOMER COMMENTS



My father and I have been buying  for 25 years
We purchase from individuals, at Antique or Book shows,
and at auctions.



We offer only originals.  They were published on
or in the period indicated in the description
The maps were published for the most part in
Atlases or geographies, The charts were published
by the U.S. COAST SURVEY



Most of the pre 1880 maps  and prints were laboriously
hand coloured. Before this time color printing was either not
available, too expensive or not of a quality sufficient to the purpose



All the items we offer have colouring that is original or we clearly state that the colouring is modern. Very few of our items have modern colour. Many maps/charts in the marketplace have modern colouring and unfortunately this fact is not stated. It is always best to know for a fact whether the hand colouring is original or not.



Everything we offer is fully guaranteed. You may return anything you purchase from us for a full refund, no questions asked. We will pay the postage coming and going, if you feel the items not to be as described



We accept checks, money orders, credit cards or PAYPAL
