Terms of Sale
All bidders (including auction agents) are subject to the following Conditions of Sale. Feel free to print out this page for future reference. Thank you.
1. On all lots sold a commission of 15% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer.
2. The terms of sale are strictly cash on delivery to the highest bidder unless special arrangements have been made prior to the sale. The fact that an item is placed on extension (submitted to an expertising committee for certification) does not relieve the successful bidder from this condition of sale.
3. All bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale. The right is reserved to group two or more lots; to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, or to act on behalf of the seller. Cherrystone will bid on behalf of clients, but will not be responsible for any errors in the execution of bidding instructions. The auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and in the event of any dispute his decision shall be final.
4. All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the seller. It may also be inferred that all sellers have been given advances against the sale of their material and therefore we have a financial interest in such lots over and above the sellers commission they are charged.
5. Any lot, the description of which is incorrect, is returnable, but only within 14 days of receipt. All disputed lots must be returned intact as received. The following lots may not be returned for any reason whatsoever: Lots containing ten or more stamps; Lots from buyers who have had the opportunity to examine them before the sale; Lots described as having defects or faults may not be returned because of any faults. No illustrated lots may be returned because of centering, margins or other factors shown in the illustrations.
6. Successful bidders, unless they are known to us or supply acceptable references are expected to make payment in full before the lots are delivered. Mail bidders will be notified of the amounts of their purchases. All mail bidders who have established credit with us must make payment within three days after receipt. We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to demand cash payment at the time a lot is knocked down to any bidder who has not previously established credit with us or whose account is in arrears. In the event any buyer refuses to pay cash for any lot at the time it is knocked down to him, the auctioneer reserves the right to reoffer the lot immediately for sale to the highest bidder. Sales tax will be added to purchases where applicable.
7. If the purchase price has not been paid within the time limit, nor lots taken up within seven days from date of sale they may be resold and any loss arising from such sale will be charged to the defaulter. Any account more than thirty days in arrears is subject to a late payment charge of 2% per month so long as the account remains in arrears. If the auctioneer, in his discretion, should institute any action to secure payment of a delinquent account the defaulting purchaser shall pay all expenses incurred by the auctioneer and such charges will be added to the amount owed.
8. All lots are sold as genuine, but should any lot be proved otherwise by written opinion of any competent, responsible authority acceptable to us, immediate refund of the full purchase price will be made, provided that such claim is made in writing within 25 days from date of sale. If claim is not made within this period, no lots are returnable for any reason at any time. So long as we are notified within the 25 day period that an opinion is being sought and the material is submitted to an acceptable authority within that period the matter will remain open until such opinion is rendered. All "Extension" lots will be considered cleared and satisfactory to the buyer if we are not notified to the contrary within six months from date of sale. We will not be responsible for any charges incurred by the buyer for expertization fees and costs unless the opinion states the item is not genuine, in which case we will pay actual costs up to a maximum of $50.00. In the event an item is proved "not as described" it is returnable for full refund, and the buyer will be paid interest (at the prevailing Treasury Bill Rate) for the time his funds have been on deposit with us during the extension period.
9. Until paid for in full, all lots remain the property of Cherrystone Stamp Center, Inc. on behalf of the seller.
10. Some consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their properties.
11. All forwarding and handling charges will be added to the purchase price. The mode of shipment shall be at our option unless we are given specific instructions.
12. Lots may be sent for inspection to buyers known to us upon written application. All such lots must be returned to us by registered mail, adequately insured and within 24 hours after receipt. The applicant assumes all responsibility and will provide insurance against all risks from time of receipt until they are actually received back by us, and is to pay all expenses of postage and insurance. No lots can be sent for inspection within ten days from date of local viewing. Large lots and collections cannot be sent for inspection. Photocopies of lots are available at 50c per page.
13. Agents are responsible for all purchases made on behalf of their clients unless other arrangements are made prior to the sale.
14. The placing of a bid shall constitute acceptance of the foregoing conditions of sale.

Cherrystone - Carl Kilgas Auction of China - Part I
2023年06月14日
The Carl Kilgas Collection of China
Carl A. Kilgas was born in Wisconsin in 1905 but lived most of his life on the US Pacific Coast, first in Seattle, Washington, where he began to collect China in the 1920s. He continued to expand the collection after moving to Portland, Oregon, eventually settling in Los Angeles. Joining the very active Southern California chapter of the China Stamp Society, Carl befriended several enthusiastic China collectors and became an active supporter of the annual Los Angeles Sescal stamp exhibition, regularly supplying exhibits of small portions of his collection. Over the years, he published articles in the China Clipper from 1976 to 1985. A member of the Collectors Club of New York, he published a series of articles in the CCNY journal outlining China's postal history, with illustrations of stamps and covers of from his own collection to tell the story.It is difficult for philatelists today to imagine what it was like collecting China in the years before the Ma Catalogue's publication in 1947. Back then, collectors had to depend on general worldwide catalogues such as Scott, Stanley Gibbons and Yvert & Tellier. Imperial China's 1878-1883 Large Dragons were listed as only three major stamps, rather than the twelve we recognize today. The Dowagers were listed as one set of nine. Other printings were regarded as mere shade varieties. The only sense we can get of how things were back in those pioneering days is from the few articles that appeared in M.D. Chow's Philatelic Bulletin, Shanghai's Asia Stamp Journal, the British Journal of Chinese Philately, the China Clipper in America, and occasional books such as Lloyd Ruland's Express Stamps and Starr-Mills Chinese Air Post.
Fortunately, a few collectors were in the right place at the right time, and had a combination of patience, technical skill, intellectual curiosity, audacity, and love of Chinese stamps. The most well-known China collection formed by a foreigner during that period was that of the American Major James Starr, whose philatelic friendship with M.D. Chow in Shanghai was supported over many years by mail, through which they exchanged ideas on subjects such as plating the Large Dragons. Major Starr died in 1949, but his collection was held intact until 1991, when it was auctioned, 42 years later.
Despite his regional activities, Carl Kilgas was unknown to the international China philatelic community. All that changed when he was asked to provide a few album pages to the 1984 Rocpex exhibition in Taipei. Over the next few years, his telephone would often ring in the middle of the night. When he picked up the handset, a voice at the other end, usually some dealer in Taiwan, would identify himself and demand to buy his China collection. This happened too often and became so annoying that Carl decided not to sell anything. Almost forty years later, we benefit from this decision since the comprehensive collection that we are now pleased to offer has remained completely untouched.
The first part of the Carl A. Kilgas collection contains selections of his extensive holding of the Large Dragons, Dowagers and Chinese Imperial Post Coiling Dragons. Additional sales will follow later this year.
We hope you enjoy these sales and good luck in bidding
