I recently put together a series of atlases by bidding on e-bay. Got one
from 1980's, one from the 1950's for less than $20. I am now working on
getting one from around the time of World war I. This allows me to track
changes in place names and find the places on locality labels at the
Museum. For one of the atlases I was the only bidder. Both atlases were
in good condition, one was never used!
