CHINA 3 1878 LARGE DRAGON CLICHE 8 Chan 3 MINT HINGED OG* NO FAULTS EXTRA FINE FROM THE KILGAS COLLECTION! We are proud to present Items from the Carl A. Kilgas collection of China. Mr. Kilgas authored a number of articles for the China Clipper from 1976 to 1985. As a member of the Collector's Club of New York, he presented in the CCNY journal, outlining China's postal history, with illustrations of stamps and covers of from his own collection to tell the story. In 1984, he was selected to lend some of his rarities to the 1984 ROCPEX exhibition in Taipei. Carl's few proteges who are still alive (the youngest of whom is now 73) remember him as a very private person, who was embarrassed that his collection had become legendary. He was regarded by his peers as an expert in Chinese Philately. Many "new discoveries" have in fact been hibernating in this collection for over 80 years.
