Here are 2 covers with BOTH SETS of the LOCAL COUNCIL STAMPS. The 2 sets are distinguished by the inscriptions EMERGENCY POST on the first set and EMERGENCY MAIL on the second. Both covers have the FULL SET of 3 STAMPS and are canceled with the “BY SEA” slogan.

The “POST” set is from a TETE-BECHE sheet as the inscription is INVERTED. The GREEN ARROWS are stuck to the cover and I have not tried to remove them. A nice pair. See the SCANS. PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE before making payment. REGISTERED AIRMAIL POSTAGE is $5.00 to ANYWHERE. Combined postage on multiple purchases. THANKS and GOOD LUCK!

This is just one of multiple listings on ebay from my advanced cover collection of the 1948 Interim Period of Israel. The collection contains many varieties and rare items from 79 of the 80 post offices and agencies in operation at that time (only Tirat Zvi is missing). I will be listing in groups of 8 to 10 items per week over the next 3 months or so until all gone. I hope to list on Sundays and/or Mondays and will combine postage with no extra “per lot” cost.

Now the small print…..
