callenish gunner Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) I have seen some period leather tubes used for storing maps. They were heavily waxed and snug fitted end caps that slid on over the inner leather tube. Edited April 29, 2010 by callenish gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 waxed bamboo tube, although if you wish to keep them flat a leather portfolio wrapped in oilskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoD Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I think some would have been kept in chests too. I'm sure i've seen map/document chests from the GAOP era on my travels. ...and then I discovered the wine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
