Welcome to Yakima Paper

 |
Me with my husband Harv'
|
My name is Samuella "Sammie" Neil. I am a senior, married to a Railroad addict, and now have opened this shop on e-bay to share our holdings. Yakima is a railroad town with many shops in old Rail cars, and a wonderful Museum. My Mother in law retired from the Railroad Retirement Board in the 1960’s and our collection of maps started with her collection.
Our central focus is state maps showing all the railroads in existence, their routes, agents and stops. In order to complete this task with detail, we specialize in Rand McNally Business and Commercial Atlas maps which measure 28 X 20 inches, some states smaller, others larger taking two pages. The large folio books these maps come from were not normally available to the public, but to Businesses and Shipping agencies who needed to know the current situation to get their products to customers. This was no mean feat, as some states had as many as 50 to 100 different Railroad Companies.
All of our maps sold are original, not copies or reproductions. The McNally Business and Commercial Atlas maps are highly prized, being held by Museums, Libraries,
Historical Societies and Collectors. Rarest of the rare are maps from Cram’s Railway Atlas, which are more decorative. For information I’d suggest Rand McNally, for show Cram’s if and when available. Both are fantastic investments to be held in trust for future generations.

When shipping the maps, we hand cut PVC pipe to two foot lengths, wrap map carefully in Kraft paper to keep it from slipping in the tube and ship by Priority mail. The postal service hasn’t figured out how to crush the tubes yet, like they do the cardboard ones.
We will gladly look up railroad stops, small towns and other information before you purchase a map from us and even scan certain areas. We highly recommend each of our customers to go into Google and gather information on prices; collections and value of the maps we sell to better understand the scarcity and value of each map. Murray Hudson is the largest dealer of rare maps in the United States and a fantastic resource for information. Their Railroad maps are listed under State Maps on their web site. The Smithsonian on their web site states clearly that the maps from Rand McNally Business and Commercial Atlas are the best there was for information.
