"Tom,
It looks like a dive into a serious art of collecting :)
Will check the availability of the above mentioned books, err, I meant to say Bibles.
Best,
Helena"
"To help with questions like these (and to find out about things of which you may be unaware,) I would recommend a "Collector's Guide" like Roger E. Nathan's "Collectibles of the National Geographic Society"…"
"Sorry, I didn't have my maps handy so I wasn't sure of the correct verbiage.
The one you have is the1914 map. The one from 1911 would have just said Railroads: ___."
"Tom,
My map shows at the lower left corner " Railroads..Open____ In Progres ......
So correct me, if I am wrong, but my map would be 1911?
Thank you for holding my hand in this discovery,
Helena"
"Helena,
If you look at the title in the lower left corner of the 1911/1914 map you will see a title and credits, below that there is a mileage scale, and under that is either a sample showing railroads (1911) or two samples showing existing and…"
"Tom,
Thank you. Incredible help!
I looked at my map, trying to find the railroads/ planned rail line you mentioned, scratching my head.
If I can trust the coloring, my map is the lighter version, one would assume its the 1914.

"And here are three low-res images of those maps courtesy of the late Philip Riviere.
May 1911
May 1914
July 1916"
"Another idea is to ask at retirement homes if they would be interested in your donation?"
"Helena,

"Hi Helena!!! I am sorry but I don't have any that far back. I have a few from the 20's and 30's. Then collection really builds after 1941. I am still logging them all but I know that there aren't any…"
"I see, its 1913"
"Hi Helena,
The first rule of thumb when dealing with reprints is "What year are they?"
The Society only made reprints of the first twenty years (1888-1907).
If you are talking about 1908 or later, they are originals.
