Another Happy Valentine’s Day

Another Happy Valentine’s Day! Or at least it would be if my “valentine” and I were together. Today I decided to repost some of my father’s valentines which he had saved. After he died I found a large collection of cards in a box he saved as a child from different holidays. Valentines were the most numerous by far. These run from 1917 to 1928 but most are from the early 1920’s. None have envelopes. I knew some of the relatives whose names are on the cards. Some of the other valentines may be the only artifacts left behind on earth to show someone lived. Due to technical WordPress difficulties, this is not the entire set, but it is a large representative sample. If you haven’t seen them I hope you enjoy them, and have a great wonderful Valentine’s Day all you very lucky couples out there! Over 60+ valentines are shown below.

Happy Valentines Day

Valentines Day has come around again!  What do we do on every Valentines Day here?  We show some vintage valentines! Where did they come from?  When my father was young, he saved his holiday cards, and I inherited them.  Valentines are the most numerous followed by Christmas cards.  The numbers trail off for the other holidays.  This year I picked out many of the 3 dimensional cards for viewing.  None of them have been punched out, and I am not going to punch them out either, so you kind of have to use your imagination how they would look or go together.  The cards are from the 1920’s.  Sorry, but there are no cats on any of them,.

Valentine greetings and felicitations to all! One again I dig into my father’s collection of cards he saved as I child, and present some more children’s vintage Valentine cards from the 1920’s. I have no cards with cats upon them. There are, however, several with dogs shown. The cards shown today are all from the 1920’s. I have plenty more of these for the future to show. Note that I deleted all previous Valentine Day posts.
