Old Valentine's Day cards part 2.........


To Zella from Helen Smith
This Valentine was printed in Germany.  Of all the ones that I found, it is the only one that states were it was created.  The little girl rotates at the waist so you can make here hands reach the keyboard. My mom was born in 1919 so you can guess that they are dated from the late 1920's to 1930's. 


This is a Valentine that was sent to my mom from her brother and cousins.   Her brother Marvin was staying with his Uncle Lee and Aunt Esther for a while.  Times were tough and I think he helped on the farm also.




From all that I can figure out of the writing on the back, Marvin is her brother and the cousins of Leila and Eva Marie Wheeler are written on the back.  The two cousins of Lee Junior and Freda had not been born yet.



To Zella from Dannie

This Valentine is of the same vintage as the top one.  At first it looks like she is  riding a motorcycle but it is a tricycle.

Thanks for stopping by...........

Cute Valentine's Day cards. I like the old fashioned ones much better than the new variety they print today.
