A Valentine TV Set For You, Hallmark ca. 1958

 

I'm taking a wild guess on the date--it could be this was produced in the early 1960s. 

This is the kind of collectible I love to find: a reflection of the latest technology in all kinds of ephemera, whether the latest typewriter, the telephone or TV. How many of us had toy telephones or radios (with a music box inside) to mimic the devices of the grown-up world?

Four shows to watch on this TV! The fourth, about a thief stealing the King's tart, is attached with a brad to the front of the card.

To a bashful Valentine

ca. 1920s

Whitney Made in Worcester, Mass.

Of course you may be bashful

But think how much 'twould

please me

If you would be my valentine

And try no more to tease me.
