| | | The picture shows a view of this Old German Circus Clown Mechanical Valentine Greeting Card. This card is not dated but it is believed to be from the early 1900s. When the Valentine card in his hand is moved he beats on his base drum and his eyes move. The clown is carrying and playing a base drum as if he were in a marching band. The card is colorful and nicely printed. He is wearing a colorful clown costume, face make up, and a hat. It is marked as follows: TA-RA-RA-DOOM-DE-AY THIS IS ST. VALENTINES' DAY. SO DON'T BE BLUE, FOR SEE WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU. GERMANY FROM RUTH FRENCH (neatly written on the back) The Valentine card has an easel back to stand up. The card measures about 5'' x 6-7/8''. It is in near mint condition as pictured. |
