    Default Can anyone give me a value for a map?

    I have recently uncovered a map in my home. It looks to be pretty old. It is a map of New York. The title reads as: The Empire State. New York with its Counties, Towns, Cities, Villages; Internal Improvements Sr. It was published by Augustus Mitchell at the N.E. corner of Market & Seventh Streets, Philadelphia, PA. The date is 1849. The map has a few photos on the lower left hand corner and in the upper right a chart stating: Statistics of the State of New York according to the census of 1845. Population of the towns. It is in fair condition and I am curious to find the value of it. I have pictures if you want to see it.

    Hi,

    Your best bet would be to take your map to an auction house or a professional valuer.

    Yeah but we still would love to see pictures
