I'm Marching To You

Made in the USA, I believe this Valentine card was probably printed in the mid-late 1940's. I love this fellow's sideways glance, and the way his tall hat fits over his funny ears. I can't quite figure out what animal he represents, though. His army attire is perhaps a uniform from the civil War? Any ideas out there?

P.S. My incredibly talented Sister Clytie has a new blog to show off her vast card collection! I'm so excited! Check out Random Cards at http://clytie-randomcards.blogspot.com/ She has some beautiful cards I think you'll love!

Tanks!

I thought it was time to share another wonderful old Valentine from my collection. This card was printed in the USA probably during WW2. The card was made to stand, and the flag was folded to make it look like it was waving in the wind.

Seems strange to think WW2 was such a long time ago. I was born close to 15 years after the war ended. Strange, it wasn't that long ago in history--yet the world has changed so much since then, it seems that war was fought centuries ago.
