Suptson Posted January 20, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2011 Hi all, Just joined the forum to ask you all a question. My father worked for the MTA for 35 years, one thing he brought home a long time ago was a Hagstrom subway map dated 1947. I was able to find a picture of one online: I cant find a lot of information on it. Are these signs exceedingly rare? I am considering having it framed to protect but its size makes that quite expensive (41x25 inches). Is it rare enough to dole out the cash to frame it? Thanks for the help.

EE Broadway Local Posted January 21, 2011 Share #3 Posted January 21, 2011 Cool map! :cool: Your map has a World's Fair Station/Shea Stadium sign from 1964-1965 on it! I agree - I would have the map framed also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted January 21, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 21, 2011 I'd frame it. I have a bunch of older maps like those, but at this point I have too many to frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
