I did try them. I have a short attention span. There was too much other stuff mixed in. I was kind of hoping for something on etsy where they were framed altho framing is not necessary. I did find a place the reproduces old charts and they look old so that might work.You might try Ebay, they have the most unbelievable assortmment of old "stuff".
How desperately do you need them? We are off to the OBX at the end of May, and there is a great little gallery down there that has all sorts of maps and nautical charts. I can look for you if you want - email me..
PS I can't recall if I mentioned to you to PLEASE stop over and spend the night, or two or as many as you want. I think I was too busy crying that you have left us (the profession)...muirford said:How desperately do you need them?

Going to frame and display in one of the rooms. Shape not as important as the look. I don't want the newer ones that are colored. I'm looking more for sepia tones.Might be able to come up with something for you. How old? What condition do they need to be in? What is your intended use?.
I've driven by but never stopped in. Thanks!Have you ever been to Douglas Harding Books in Wells? They have tons of old New England maps. Great place..
Great idea. Plus we have a regular map store as well. Hoping to get older looking maps, tho. The kind with 'Here be dragons' on them. ;-)Have you tried your local West Marine store? I don't buy paper charts anymore since everything is electronic now (except for the Explorer book with charts for the Bahamas), so I don't know whether the paper charts you get at the marine store are what you're looking for. Just a thought... Also, you might try calling Bluewater Books & Charts in Fort Lauderdale, FL (800-942-2583) and ask them if they have what you're looking for - they can send it to you in a tube. A single paper chart should not be all that expensive. I bought one for the Key Largo area to take out on the little boat which does not have electronics, and the chart was about $20..
