Antique Handmade Valentine: To Frank from Emily (Look Inside!) Chinese bronze enameled box but there are not many

but there are not many of her drawings accessible and I am by no means certain

and I'll buy them whenever I find them because I think they're just great

I've documented them from both front and back of the paper

So many beautiful old tools in the world

old two balls in cage whimsy

Antique Handmade Valentine: To Frank from Emily (Look Inside!) Chinese bronze enameled box but there are not manyYesterday I came across a bunch of old handmade valentines, including this one, filling me with total joy. This may be my favorite of the lot a bit unassuming on the outside, though with this lovely scalloped edging, but then inside 4 hearts for our dear Frank, who I'm very sad seems never to have chosen one to give back to our Emily, who clearly expended a great deal effort on him! Another one that makes my heart ache. 5 3 4" x 3 3 4" closed. C. 1900
