I have a silk(ish?) aviation/nautical map from WWII. It is a military map that was used by pilots during the war in the Pacific to plan missions. My Grandfater flw P-47s over Japan and I think that he re-appropriated this map after the war. The map was folded up and stuck in a bag and has probably been there since the end of The War. So, as you would imagine, there are some pretty deep creases in it. Otherwise it is in perfect condition. I want to get it framed and hang it up, but I am wondering I can get these crease out first. Do you think it would be a bad idea to take this thing to a dry cleaner and have it cleaned and pressed? I am thinking that if it came out nice then it would be outstanding, but if they fucked it up I'd be horrified. This is the same reason that I am hesitant to take a steam iron to it myself.
