Map Storage

[crafters_corner]

Not sure what they are called so please bear with me while I attempt a description:

OH collects vintage OS maps . A few of them have come in thick, polythene (?) top-opening wallets. I cannot find these anywhere so if anyone knows where to purchase, please let me know. They must not be hole-punched, or have a flap. Just a top-opening, slip-in, polythene wallet.

Approx. size: 13x21 cms.

Thank you.

I do know what you mean and I used to have at least one of them. I say used to because I moved house last year and can't remember what I kept and what I lost/mislaid/threw away. I will have a hunt around. If not, a regular at one of our local car boot sales often has them. I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Thank you for your reply He needs quite a few for his quite large collection (unless I can persuade him to sell some - some hope!)

No, that's not what I mean. They are totally plain with just an opening at the top. Much smaller than the one for your link.

But, thank you very much for taking the trouble to look.

I should imagine they would be similar to the pockets for storing individual postcards only a bit longer.

I don't know if they do them on-line, but an Army & Navy shop (as they used to be called) or walking shop such as Blacks or Oswald Bailey should be able to help.

Thanks, Lofty, but all the listings for camping/walking are of the large variety with strings etc.attached. These are for storing in their dozens/hundreds in a large box. Just to keep them clean - not for walking with.

Oh! I think I have found some (unfortunately on TOS). A5 frosted job card pockets A5 vertical opening with thumb bit at top.

Will now close this thread with thanks to all you kind people who tried to help
