1920-24
Nick Nikoletich
The only information I could find about Nick Nikoletich was an entry in the 1922 Polk-Husted Directory Co. Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda city directory:
"Nikoletich Nick steward h 1304 Myrtle". He must have been of Croatian origin. Nothing else known.
Ships in service
From 1920 to 1924 the ships serving the New Hebrides were "PACIFIQUE" for Messageries Maritimes and "MAKAMBO" for Burns Philp & Co. Ltd.
Nick Nikoletich probably made these covers himself. Up to date they are know only from the years 1920 to 1924. In contrary to the "Meister Covers" which were commercially used and
bear the correct postage the Nikoletich covers are rather uninspired and carry random stamps.
