Bird In (On) Hand, Old Handmade Valentine with Poem from Beulah carved flowers These are exactly the sort

These are exactly the sort I like--very earthy

sides raise to 4 7/8" tall

There is one small chip to the handle as pictured

part of what I really love about these folk art wooden cutouts is how each one represents a variation on a theme

a flag pole sans flag

Bird In (On) Hand, Old Handmade Valentine with Poem from Beulah carved flowers These are exactly the sortA charming old valentine or love note, all the better for being signed by a miss Beulah, who hand wrote a poem inside expressing "all my love for you." Great hand (looking a little like a talon), great bird, and I love how they arch in opposite directions. 5" x 3 5 8", very good condition, with decoratively cut edges. Early 20th c. I believe.
