A rare 1940s Valentine from Gartner & Bender's GB Golden Bell line: a pink embossed "lace" card with a die cut heart, a silk cord with tassel, and a Cupid who pops forward holding a closed red umbrella.
Maker: Gartner & Bender (GB Golden Bell)
Materials: Light cardstock, with a real silk cord and tassel
Dimensions: Approx. 6.0 inches by 5.0 inches
Origin: Chicago, IL, USA
Era: Vintage, 1940s
Condition: Good, considering its age — this card is used and has writing in ink, dated 1946. There is a light water stain on the front and small folds on a bottom corner, and the back has glue residue, perhaps from being part of a collection kept in an album. No envelope. Still good for crafting or collecting. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Such an adorable and rare Valentine's Day card. It is pink, embossed with white "lace," with a real silk cord with tassel on the side. In the center is a die cut heart surrounded by embossed roses and glitter, with Cupid peeking through. When opened, Cupid pops forward holding on to a closed red umbrella, with another cherub in the top corner holding a second umbrella. Absolutely wonderful, so unique and romantic.
A great gift for a greeting card collector, and perfect for decorations and valentine displays.
