Looking for some ideas and suggestions on how to display my maps. Too many nice graphics to keep them in a book or box
Pictures appreciated
Thanks

I have about 15 or so Michigan Sunoco maps. Like 1933-1950 something. I do plan to figure out a nice framed wall hanging one of these days.

This is my only map display. I was worried about the maps deteriorating so I wrapped them in plastic.

I display mine a bunch of different ways. Some are in fresh plastic sleeves and nailed to the wall with a small inch nail if they are only single panel graphics, others with multi panel graphics get appropriate frames. The three panel graphic maps (the size that the majority from the 30s-50s were) have a perfect sized frame you can grab at Walmart (11”x8” maybe?). Others still I have on stands among cans with the rest either in racks or laying flat amongst a display. Both my racks were standing brochure displays from a pharmacy that closed down, you can usually find them relatively cheap (under $35).
Looking for Michelin items + NJ oil company related items (Mohawk, Guardian, Whiz, etc) + animal-related petroliana + Gargoyle/Shell/Sinclair items

I have some in original map holders, others I have displayed in a large frame. Have an old map as the background.

That’s a nice presentation - how did you attach the maps so they keep that nice curve?

Just pressure from the glass and thick cardboard back, added a few extra nails around the back edge for firmness. Nothing else. (edit) this frame was metal and added some thin metal strips, I have a wooden one also.
