Does anyone have an actual Tydol Map that has the "X" code date code on it? I am looking to buy or trade. I would trade for a different date Tydol Map or I have a few Maps from other Oil Company's.
For those not familiar with Rand McNally and Gousha Maps? Most of them either have a Copyright date on them or a date code. The Road Map Collectors Association has graciously provided a website for those wishing to date their Maps.

I have all years except 1950... Sellers on Ebay keep looking at the 1950 Census date on their Maps and mistakenly figure that that means the Map is dated 1950.
Here is a 1949 Map and a 1951 Map to show the Date Codes on them. (these codes are quite small and I at times must use a magnifying glass to make them out)
