Did you contact the Metsker Map store here in Seattle?  They should have someone on staff still that could find out this info.

All,
 
I seem to remember this discussion before, but can&rsquo;t locate the thread.
 
Does anyone know how to figure out or approximate the date of a Metsker Pocket Map of [County], [State]?  Even a history of the map runs would be useful.  Potential Markers I noticed:
 
Copyright by Charlse Metsker vs. Thos. C. Metsker
Cardboard folder attached to map vs. envelope
Blue-Line versus black ink
Road Index printed on map
What features are shown in legend.
 
Anyone have ideas?
 
Thanks,
