Want Corner.
Margaret Seymour thinks her hobby such a queer one that no one else is interested in it. She is tracing the Sigurd or Siegfried Myth. She asks if Elder Edda, Jordan's Sigfrid's Saga, and Geibel's Tragedy of Brunehild, have ever been translated into English; also where to find the Volsunga Saga. The Brunehild Tragedy can be had in English from French & Sons, publishers, 18 West Twenty-third Street, New York. Can any member tell us about the others? Sidney T. Mirams, lives in Elder Street, Dunedin, New Zealand, and is a member of our Order who collects stamps. Moreover, he says he has some to trade; also wrappers and post cards. Charles F. Hoffman, 16 Whitehall Street, New York has started an eight-page monthly called The Courier, and will send a free sample to all who ask. Its price is twenty-five cents a year, but it is to be raised to thirty-five cents. It is a good juvenile amateur.
This Department is conducted in the interest of stamp and coin collectors, and the Editor will be pleased to answer any question on these subjects so far as possible. Correspondents should address Editor Stamp Department.
This Department is conducted in the interest of the readers of Harper's Round Table—(1) To give the important stamp news of the day; (2) to assist the young collectors to collect intelligently by giving them hints on those subjects which are usually so difficult to understand, such as perforations, water-marks, papers, colors, methods of manufacture, varieties of dies, and the care and management of their philatelic treasures: (3) to answer questions in this column, or by letter, provided a stamped and addressed envelope be enclosed with the inquiry. I hope, however, all collectors will provide themselves with a catalogue, sold by all stamp-dealers, as this will in itself answer such questions as "What is the value of a —— U. S. stamp?"
Mollie Davis.—The stamp is catalogued at 2c.
Lantie V. Blum.—I advise young collectors always to buy stamps from well-known, respectable dealers. See our advertising columns for names.
C. P. McKillopp.—The 10c. green U. S. 1851 unperforated is worth 60 to 75 cents. The same stamp perforated is worth 25 cents. The 10c. 1861 is worth 5 cents; the same stamp grilled is worth 40 cents. The 6c. Lincoln 1870, grilled, is worth $4, but without grill 2 cents.
