I will continue to scoop good early paper lace valentines whenever I find them because I love them, and you seem to, too. This is a lovely small folded one, c. 1840s, with a handwritten message inside, though the ink is much faded and hard to read. And with what I presume is the envelop it was originally delivered in--larger than it, but it is pretty rare to find such a small valentine! Addressed to an Andrew Cobb of Parsippany, NJ.
Valentine: 2 11/16" x 3 3/4" closed. Envelope: 4 1/8" x 5 11/16". Both in very good antique condition.
