UNIQUE OLD VALENTINES...

Sharing some Valentines I purchased from a Household Auction.  The 3 bottom ones are from Germany but no dates  The top middle has a date of 1924


The top Airplane in this picture has a date of 1924 Printed in Germany  It is very delicate, I plan to frame it.



The top left from the Carrington Co. Chicago, Il      top right a date of 1927
The 2 bottom ones remind me of Shirley Temple??? or if someone knows what image these are , leave a comment for me..


These are such cute cards for a gentleman...2 cute cars and the basketball player. The other 2 are again from the Carrington Co   Chicago, Il   dated 1934

Some of these have a little paper strip to fold out and make them stand.  All were the mans of this house. I will have more from the lady of this house, who was a school teacher all her life. So trying to group these by names maybe of local kids who were classmates.  My only regret....there were 2 boxes of these and I only was able to purchase one...I did not have her for a Kindergarten teacher but my sister and brother did and I don't have their class groupings in my box...it would have made a great keepsake for them.
The day of this auction, the man passed on but the special little lady still lives in assisted living and gets out and about quite often..always friendly and a hoot to visit with.

Hope you enjoyed..thanks for stopping by. Hoping to have more later in the week.  A really quiet day here. Tuesday a storm is again forcast, possible 10 inches and Wednesday wind...my husband just changed the channel...

Wonderful Valentines! Sorry about your forecast! We are right on the lower edge of this massive storm and we are not too sure how it will track just yet. Could be some ice for us here!
