Q My father had a side job cleaning out houses. On one job, he removed a few dozen navigation charts for the eastern U.S. coastline. Many were uninteresting and had handwritten notes from use. But I kept one. It was a detail of ”Coast Chart No. 120, New York Bay and Harbor” by the U.S. Coast Guard Geodetic Survey, Henry S. Pritchett Superintendent, published in 1900. It’s been stored flat on acid-free paper in a glare-resistant frame. I would love to know if it’s worth anything.
