National Geographic Society Red Hardcover Map File Folder 1940's with 20 Maps - $29 - (Mcminnville, TN)

This came from the estate of an avid collector... mostly trains but a lot of old books too, and it appears maps as well! It sat with hundreds of books in large old dusty bookcases.I couldn't find a lot of info on this National Geographic MAP file folder with maps so I will do my best to describe.I’m going to presume all the maps are from the 1940s because that seems to be the dates on a couple maps that showed the copyright. I did not open up all the maps. (1940, 1943, 1947, 1948 are dates I did see)on the inside cover there are 10 numbers to correspond with the 10 folders to fill in for an "Index"Look at all photos. I took a photo of every map front. Did not verify if they match up with the Index exactly but it appears they mostly do.Written in Index: United States U.S., Canada and MexicoNortheastern United States; Washington DCNorth Central United States; South Eastern USSouth Central US; South Western USCanada, Alask, Greenland; The CaribbeanThe World; Northern and Southern HemispheresPacific Ocean; AustraliaSoutheastern Asia; India and BurmaChina; the PhilippinesJapan; Japan and KoreaThe measurements are about- 7.5 inches in length x 10.5 inches in height x 2.5 inches in widthAll the maps on the inside appear to be in good condition. I did not open them all up.Condition: One of the folders, the glue is coming apart on the side (see photo).
