Dear potential buyer.....I have been away from selling for many years ....but have not been away from antiques or collectibles! I’ve been in the business for over 25 years, and I strive to sell only the best that I can find...... I Hope you like what you see as I start fresh again. I also hope to receive a lot of positive response and happy customers!
I am offering this lovely and rare mechanical Valentine....from a young boy to his girl.
This is a 5-part fold out Valentine, with a honeycomb tissue blossom coming out of the die cut garland of roses.
The third part after the garland of roses ......is a homestead printed in the center of the heart shape die cut with a rosy-cheeked young boy wearing a Civil War Kepi hat.
4th part has a Valentine cherub putting an arrow in her bow. Printed near the bottom: To My Valentine
5th back piece is blue and gold on a white background. Scene of a windmill, trees and flying doves.
Hopefully my photos of captured this valentine and it’s condition.
Absolutely no tears, tape or repairs. Mechanical strips that fold out and supports each layer are all present. See photos to see minor wear and bend to the top left corner. Also, light bend to the neck of the boy and the Cupid’s head.
Measures approximately 6 x 8 inches while laying flat
