Lot #1318 - ireland Ship Letters
Cork. 1779 Entire letter from Montreal to London backstamped with double ring "QUEBEC" with a triangle of bars at the base and a Bishop Marks struck within, a London "1/NO" Bishop Mark alongside, the front with manuscript "Cork" above a seriffed "SHIP LRE".

Cove. 1841 Entire letter from Maracaibo to London endorsed "Packet" and charged 1/-, backstamped at Cove and Dublin.

Photo on Page 181.
Suggested price: £ 250-300
