To my own true love ♥

valday016

To my own true love.  2124.  Printed in Germany.

No post mark.  No addressee.

The words, the flowers, the birds, the heart all have been raised to provide depth.  And to allow for a very bumpy writing surface on the other side of the card.   Again, part of the unused series from 1910-1914.

Don’t keep me on the fence

valday010

Don’t keep me on the fence, darling, just day the word.  

No post mark. No addressee.

Another of Grandpa’s unused post cards.   This one is marked different in that is probably was not printed in Germany and no part of the picture is raised, so it would have been easy to have been written upon.
