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
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.

I had a whole plastic baggy full of these vintage / retro plastic toy puppets from NSP Northern States power Co. One side has Reddy Kilowatt, the other Reddy Flame. I’m not sure gas and electricity are things you want to encourage your kids to play with but… Or small plastic bags either. But you can catch the remaining ones at Listia and eBay.
