This lot features three scarce bicycle strip maps by J.W. Waring and published by the sporting goods manufacturer A.G. Spalding & Bros. The first map extends from New York City to Oyster Bay on Long Island, while the second and third extend from Jersey City north to Greenwood Lake and west to beyond Rockaway. Each includes a paragraph of directions and a road map where "the heavy black line shows the bicycle route." These three maps were part of an eight map series listed on each of the rear covers. Folds into printed wrappers (3.3 x 5"). OCLC shows only a single institutional example of one Waring Route Map (No. 13) and no reference to any of the eight Spalding maps.
