Rob,

I would have her contact Barry Ruderman at raremaps.com.  He is a reliable dealer and can help her.

Best,

Julie

Subject: Where to sell an antique map

A patron has a 600 year old map with appraisal papers.  She wants to know where/ through whom to sell it.  I tried a web search but all the pages that came up were specific companies selling their services.  Is there a reliable page or organization to whom I can refer her?

Much thanks,

Rob
