Shy valentine, c. 1930

The artwork reminds me of bridge tallies, and the Buzza company comes to mind. But no markings on the back, save a pencilled note to "Eilleen" from "Harold P."

  1. What a pleasing design. I love how the hands come together to form the point of the heart.

  2. I so love old valentines. Is this one of the type on thin paper or is it sturdy? I have a few dozen old valentines that I love to look at.

  3. This is pretty sturdy, not flimsy. I could see this one filled out with crepe paper to define and extend the skirt. I leave that to someone craftier than I!

  4. Thanks. I have some I bought on eBay many years ago that I was surprised to find were so thin. I was sort of stunned they survived as long as they did.
