Novelty antique die-cut, color mechanical Valentine card. T
here's so much going on in this card! A couple in a open-top motorcar zoom through several large urns of flowers -- a girl in a bonnet, on the left, look rather apprehensive, odd for a Valentine card -- all in 3-D.
Near fine condition.
The back of the card has the giver and recipient's name in pencil. Apparently from the mid-1920s; I took this from an album that had a similar card dated 1926.
The foldout mechanism is intact, and is a small masterpiece reminiscent of theater stage sets, props and backdrops.
5 3/4 inches tall by 4 inches across.
