Some of my early Valentine's Day cards. The first pic is my favorite. On the back it is signed "To Mother 1906". The 2nd pic is a large pop up guessing from around the same time as the 1st. Same with the 3rd pic but I think this one may have been part of a larger card. The last pic has some post cards which are all post marked from 1907-1927. A fun collection that is often affordable when you can find them. Thanks for looking.
