Buried Treasure
Postal Stamp Investment
Reaps Dividends Sixfold
Lenny, an old friend of mine,
invited me to dinner. Receipt of
a $900 check that morning cred
ited to having followed my ad
vice 17 years before, made him
quite voluble. .
I had been urging Lenny to
put $100 into postage stamps. I
had bet a dinner that if he did,
by the time his infant son was
ready for college the stamps
could be sold for at least six
times the amount invested.
Well, Lenny had bought 10
sets of the Canal Zone postage
HOW TO GO ABOUT FINDING VALUE OF ANTIQUE
How much should an antique
bring, and what's the best way
to find out?
That is a question posed in a
recent letter by M. M. Rosen, of
New, rk, N. J., apropos his hav
ing "come into possession of a
hand-carved love seat with the
date 1719 inscribed on it."
Mr. Rosen suspects that the
piece is both "unique and valu
able." Assuming it is as old as
the date indicates and that it is
in reasonably good condition, one
must agree that his suspicions are
quite justified.
How valuable, of course, is
something that may vary from
several hundred to several thou
sand dollars and depends on var
ious factors. The history of the
piece could have a very great
influence on its value for obvious
reasons as for example, if the
piece had belonged to Martha
Washington, to to the mother of
Stephen Decatur, say.
If the history is unknown and
Rosen's letter indicated nothing
on this point the piece may still
be established as having a very
PAPERWEIGHT IN UNUSUAL FORM OF GLASS VASE
An eye for the unusual and
the willingness to take a modest
gamble are two of the most im
portant assets a man can have.
That is the contention of Paul,
a collector friend of mine who
feels those attributes are even
more important than knowledge.
"The paperweight on the table
behind you is partial proof," he
said.
- I turned to the table, but the
only things on it were a book,
a lamp and what appeared to be
a glass vase.
"That's it," Paul said, "the
glass. Take a good look at it."
I studied the piece closely be
fore picking it up. Its appear
ance was decidedly , that of a
vase and a very graceful one.
Certainly it didn't look like any
paperweight I had seen. It was
a good nine inches high and a
little over six inches in diam
ater at the lip of what I took to
be the bowl, which was a good
inch deep. From the base of the
bowl the sides tapered gracefully
to where the waist was only
about three inches thick and
then flared out to about four at
the base.

issue which the Post Office De
partment had brought out the
month before to commemorate
the first quarter century of
service for the famous waterway.
There were 16 stamps in the
issue, and each of the 10 sets was
made up of blocks of four. He
had invested $8.28 per set as
against the $90 which he finally
received.
"The catalog value is $120.95
per set," Lenny said, "but I'm
satisfied. Best investment I ever
made."
substantial value despite that
handicap.
Whether Rosen knows much or
little of the history of his acqui
sition, I suggest that as a first
step he go to the Newark Public
Library and read all that he can
find on the subject. Quite possi
bly he may come across a clue to
the rarity of his piece in the
works of Wallace Nutting, author
of Furniture Treasury and one of
the foremost authorities on furn
iture found in America during
the 1700s.
Mr. Rosen should then visit
various dealers to learn what
kind of love seats they have
there are many kinds and the
prices asked. He should also con
sult the records of the leading
auction houses.
By taking such steps he will
get an idea of what his piece
ought to bring. The time re
quired to do so is not so very
much. Librarians as a" general
rule are most helpful, and deal
ers are not going to conceal
prices if they think they may
make a sale.
The color of the glass was a
dark but very clear amber. Six
green lilypad , stems waved
gracefully up through the amber
depths to terminate a little be
low .the glass surface of the
bowl in two water lilies and
four leaves.
They were so life-like, lying
there just a little below the sur
face of the glass7, that I involun
tarily rubbed my fingers, over
the surface to see if I couid de
tect a change in quality. I
picked the piece up to ook
through it at the light. It- was
heavy in my hand.
"Take a look at the bottom,"
Paul said. In turning the piece
over I spotted the signature
Tiffany."
"I paid $10 for it," Paul re
sumed. "I had no idea what it
might be worth. Didn't even
know it was Tiffany's, but I
liked the color and . appearance
of it. And just the other day I
learned that one like this was
advertised last year at $150 and
sold almost immediately."

Time To Study
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer,- Extension Division
Oregon Higher Education System
A few years ago a woman
newspaper columnist wrote me
as follows "I want help on the
moon "for I am completely con
fused. It may be just any old
place. It's scandalous for such
a dignified body to jump around
the way.it does! What's it doing
up there all by itself early in
the afternoon? I'd like to be able
to look at it without this con
tinual astonishment. Please take
pity"
For all who seriously want
to study the moon's antics, right
now is the time to start. Old
Luna was new .April 22 and
should be spotted easily as a
thin crescent in the western
twilight two days later. From
that time on make daily obser
vations of its position and
plumpness. Your own study will
teach you an immense amount.
Observations Show Action
Two moon motions will be
evident. The earth's rotation
eastward on its axis once a day
makes the moon seem to move
westward across the sky. Two
observations only an hour apart
will easily show this action. If
the earth should stop turning,
would the moon then stand fixed
in the heavens? By no means.
It would then be seen that our
lunar neighbor was slowly mov
ing eastward around the earth
once in about four weeks'.
Thus we- see that Luna's ap
parent motion is really a com
bination of two causes. The
earth's turning makes the moon
seem to move westward about
15 degrees an hour, while its
own eastward movement takes
it about one-half degree hourly".
Motion Easily Detected
This eastward motion of the
moon can easily be detected by
noting its location among the
fixed stars which also seem to
go westward because , of the
earth's rotation. Look early in
the evening then again a few
hours later. Observation 24
hours apart show a considerable
change. Thus every night or
day the moon at a certain, hour
will be farther east than at the
same hour the previous day.
