1913 world keeps turning with rescued map

Mail: I read your article in the Home section regarding your map. You mentioned that it had a small brass tag on the frame. Do you happen to remember the number on the tag? I have the LC art collection book that lists all of our works by tag number.
I know we have lost pieces over the years and if I knew the number I could verify if it ever was in our collection. If it was, I can make a notation in the book that we have verified that it left our school, so our book is correct.
The art that we have on display in the school is catalogued online, please visit the site if you get a chance. Go to www.lctigers.com and select "Art Collection".
Thanks!

CAM: Today's Treasure Hunt column in HOME was about a circa 1913 map of North America that I picked up at a local thrift store.
I wondered if the map was from the beautiful Lewis and Clark High School because the school was being restored when I found it.
Following Meyer's hint, I looked but didn't find any identification. Meyer decided the map had not belonged to the school.
So it's still a mystery map.
