When the place of publication is not identified in the resource, CONSER practice is to supply the place following the instructions found in (RDA 2.8.2.6). 

1.If the place of publication is known, supply the place in brackets

2.If you have a probable local place of publication, supply the probable place in brackets, followed by a question mark.

3.If only a local place is supplied, the question mark follows the local place.

4.If a local place and the larger jurisdiction are supplied, the question mark follows the local place if the local place is uncertain, but the larger jurisdiction is known; the question mark follows the larger jurisdiction if it is uncertain that the resource was published in the larger jurisdiction

       264 #1 $a [Portland, Maine?] : {Uncertain if resource was published in Maine}

       264 #1 $a [Portland?, Maine] : {Uncertain if the resource was published in Portland, but known to be published in Maine}
