Show & Tell: Old Valentines

My Great Aunt saved these Valentine cards (c.1920's) in a red, cloth covered box and I was lucky to inherit them. Here's a pic of all the cards stacked up in the box. Then, I'll show you some of the cards more clearly in the following pics.

A trio of embossed cards with colorful images on the front and line images and text inside.

Heart shaped cards with portraits of little girls.

This girl 'walks' when you turn a wheel with extra feet on the back.

Finally, these are among my favorites. They are articulated so you can make the characters roll their eyes.

Happy Valentine's Day!
