    Description

    Up for bid are two ship mail covers from the Gilbert and Ellice Islands cancelled from Nonouti and Kuria Islands to England.  One illegible CDS on the Kuria cover and blue ship mail rubber stamp from the ship John Williams VII
    .  The "Kuria" designation comes from the pencil note written on the cover by the collector and producer of the cover. The Nonouti CDS is legible with two cancels and the John Williams VII rubber stamp is in blue ink.  The year dates are partially illegible an both covers; looks like "195_".  Part of my childhood collection that needs a new home since I am retired and now have different interests. I will consider shipping options other than Global Shipping to England, Canada and Australia; please ask.  Will combine shipping. Thanks for looking.
