Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge with Jose and his family

with Jose and his family looking as if both signaling "help" and gratefully waving to her

Seven stacked layers of carved wood for the hearts and triangular forms all the way around

of peasant and peasant atmospheres relived with ingenuity and sincere passion

Folded in half and then half again

Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge with Jose and his familyJust a pair of little handmade valentines, which, between those fancy scalloped edges and crayoned hearts, I find hugely satisfying. There is writing in graphite inside, a little hard to read against the green, but one was definitely addressed to Grandma. There is a bit of a sheen to the green paper. 3 1 8" x 3 ea, closed. Good condition, early 20th c. I believe.
