Bird In (On) Hand, Old Handmade Valentine with Poem from Beulah cricket game almost reverent little painting I

almost reverent little painting I think

This of course is made all the better by the alligatoring of the black paint

but which I’ve learned originated in/near Danbury Connecticut

and also sells beautiful objects

This sweet old handmade wooden black cat

Bird In (On) Hand, Old Handmade Valentine with Poem from Beulah cricket game almost reverent little painting IA 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.
