Antique Handmade Valentine: Butterflies! brass sign All of her joints move

All of her joints move smoothly and are still enough to hold whatever position in place

including one author and three with the names of books written by him (yes

) and surely it could be put to use now holding all sorts of precious things

screaming as it does

Antique Handmade Valentine: Butterflies! brass sign All of her joints moveYesterday I came across a bunch of old handmade valentines, including this one, filling me with total joy. This hand painted watercolor includes a fitting poem inside too, and on the back we learn a sender and recipient both with fabulous names: Zela and Olive! 6" x 4 9 16" closed. There is a light angular fold line and a bit of crinkling toward the bottom, but I think I can get it to flatten out pretty well.
