I think my grandmother, Helen Gertrude Bielby Coyne, must have saved this valentine for sentimental reasons, but I’m not sure what they were.

I found it in a box of her family pictures back in 1996 and I think I would have photographed the back, too, if there had been something written there. My grandmother was born 15 March 1909 in Oneida County, New York and she died in 1985.

I wonder when this style of card was in use?
