Vintage Valentine: Shouting Girl
Here's another odd valentine from my collection. Made in Germany in the 1920s-30s, this mechanical valentine features a girl with a die-cut open mouth. As the wheel hidden in her bow is turned, words pass through her mouth, making it appear she is shouting them out. They read: "It's your turn to love me, valentine!"

I just came across your wonderful blog and with the exception of the teddy bears, dolls and miniatures I have a lot of your same items!
ReplyDeleteLove when I see other people collecting the same things as I do.
What a wonderful blog you have! I also love vintage and kitschy stuff, including toys. Sometimes I manage to include them in my photo stories and greeting cards. I'm looking forward to seeing more here and am so glad I found your blog today! :-) Jennifer
