A very cool vintage space-age valentine. Not quite 4 and a half inches tall, it’s one of those kids pass out to their classmates at school. No marks for maker; made in U.S.A., 8/5 402.

A Valentine Pun I’m Not Sure I Understand
I was slow to post today’s vintage valentine, sorry about that. But I’m still not sure what the “slowpoke” pun on this vintage valentine means. Well, I get the play on a tortoise being slow, but what’s the holiday sentiment? Is it just that the card sender is to eager to wait? Seems less than thrilling… But then maybe I’m just hoping for a Valentine’s Day poke. *wink*
Marked Made in U.S.A. 752/15

Vintage Cowboy Valentine
Like many valentines (and greeting cards in general), spelling rules will be pushed past the limits to make a sentiment — if not complete sense. This vintage valentine features a cowboy with a “lassoo” to make the mushy-stuff work.
