Brown leather motorist's case with sixteen folding maps, in eight leather covers. These maps are the "Quarter-Inch to One Stature Mile" series with the "New National Grid". Each map forms a strip, 9" x 100" (approximately), mounted on linen and folded into leather covered boards (4 x 9") with two maps in each cover. Together they cover all of England, Wales and Scotland. This is a superb set from the golden age of motoring.
