Vintage Valentines - Movable Parts

Hi All!

Late last year I found a stash of cool Vintage Valentine's at a local antique mall.  I couldn't pass them up because they were so darn cute!

Today I wanted to share some of the valentine's that have movable parts....from the dates these were all from the early 30's.
This Senorita's leg moves back and forth to make her hide behind her fan or show herself as she is now....

Vintage Valentine's 004
In this Valentine the small heart with the word LOVE moves up and down which makes the little dog jump around in the frame.
Vintage Valentine's 005
The small heart in the background moves the little "Love" envelope in and out of the flower bouquet.
Vintage Valentine's 006
And this little guys head moves back and forth ...the little tab at the bottom is torn off.

Valentine's back then sure were cute huh?
So much nicer than the ones you can buy today.

  2. You pay a fortune now for moveable parts cards and Valentines. I saw some at the checkout counter at Barnes and Noble that were $8.00 They were really wonderful though. These little cards bring back memories. It was always so cool when you found one in your Valentine box left when they handed out the Valentines at school..
