Carrington Company, Mechanical Boy in Yellow Shirt Red Hear Shaped, Vintage Valentine Card 1920's-1930's

This card was made by the Carrington Card Company, which was founded in 1917 in Chicago. The company was active until the late 1950's. This Valentine is simplistic in the shape of a red heart. The front side shows a cute boy in a yellow shirt with a button nose. He sticks out of the card and is able to move by a tab on the back. The front says, "Be my Valentine, You're not hard to take." The back has another message printed saying, "Listen Valentine: I Have a little secret to whisper in your ear, of all the folks I ever knew, I love you the best, my dear." The Carrington logo is also on the back. This card is made from a heavy paper and is in excellent condition. There are no rips or bends in the card.
