Fabric for these charts is often called silk or nylon. We do not know which it is, but it is a very lightweight fabric. Used, as-is. Faded. Stains and edge fraying. Parts of C-52 side are more faded when compared to the C-53 side. See attached pictures. I've always heard about these and was thrilled to actually come across and old stained and faded one! AB02
