HUGE CACHE WW I II ATLASES, BATTLE MAPS 1918-45, 1849 AMERICAN ATLAS++ genuine

Description

At a yard sale where I bought 3 antique trunks, I also had to buy their contents, including these atlases and maps.
I do not have the time or inclination to sell individually, so I will be selling them as a group at LOWER THAN BARGAIN PRICES!
Even if you don’t want all of these maps, here is a good opportunity to pick up some Christmas/birthday presents or trade goods
Because of past sales of printed matter, where the buyers photo printed and damaged the product then retuned it and wanted a full refund, I do not do returns on books/printed matter.
That being said, if there is a problem contact me, I feel with 5 minutes of emails, the problem can be resolved. (see my feedback)
Shipping will be insured USPS book rate.
Unless
noted, all maps are at least in good condition. A few have a tear in the margins, however the maps all good or better condition, if not indicated otherwise.
