Vintage Valentines (Part Three)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! And here we go with part three featuring choice picks from my vintage Valentine card collection of the 50's and 60's, though some of these date back to 1930's even! The last two posts focused on the kind of traditional greeting cards that open up, today's post is more about the simple two sided cards you exchanged with sweethearts when you were a kid (or maybe even not as a kid!) Some of these have moving arms (like the knight slaying the dragon), or moving eyes (see the lovely rocket-ridin' "Queen of the Universe"), some fold open to reveal something else interesting (the BBQin' tigers, or the kid cop tipping his hat.) The best thing about Valentine's Day (aside from the candy) is of course the cute, and expertly illustrated holiday cards! Have a great day!
