    Default old school maps, roller type

    I have a set of roller maps that would have been used in school classrooms. I do not see a date but they are made by The George F. Cram Company, Indianapolis, Indiana.

    I don't know what to call them to list and would appreciate any advise. There is a wood frame that holds 7 pull down maps and another that only has one map.

    They came out of a school that closed in 1965.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I would put them in Collectibles/Maps and call them
    "Vintage Pull-Down School Maps"

    I remember my teachers pulling them down on the rollers.

    Tia, thanks for the answer. I have been looking on Google search and can't find any to decide how to price them. I found one set of a different brand for $1395. I would be real happy with that but don't know if I would be pricing them so high no one would bid.

    Now there I can't help you. I have a lot of trouble pricing things myself, especially when they're so rare no one else is selling them. I suppose you could list them for a while, if a lot of people (like 100 or more) look and don't buy, start moving the price down a bit at a time. I sold a few things on GreedBay that I thought might be too high, didn't get around to changing the price, and they eventually sold. Be prepared to wait, months if necessary. At least it doesn't cost us a fortune here to wait for the right buyer to find us.
