True Love Doesn't Fade: 10 Vintage Valentine's Cards

The animal on the "tip of my tongue" Valentine is a hippopotamus, not an elephant.

You can make a paper heart valentine that will beat most of these. I remember doing it back in grade school.

Reading these old-time cards shows just how much the world has changed over time. For the worst, too, it seems.

These cards bring back a time when couples actually loved and respected one another and tried to work on staying together.

These days, that's all gone. The only sentiment that many women are likely to get is "I'd like to bang you up the ### good, and then have you cook me a steak dinner while I drink some beers".

If today's couples are not happy, they are most likely to go online. He spends his time with his freaky porn, and she spends her time looking for a NSA hook-up with some other married man. Neither of them work on what they have together.

Women simply don't get to hear the messages on these cards anymore. And, that is big part of why so many marriages and relationships fail, I guess.

Trust me, an OLDER woman would LOVE to have a man who finds one of these old-time cards for her. It would remind her of how love and courtship used to be, back when she was a little girl. She would probably treasure the card, along with her jewelry, for the rest of her life.

Even a younger girl would appreciate one of these cards, simply for the message that they would tell her.

I wonder what years these are. I enjoy history and the stories behind it.

Some of these bring back memories of when I was a kid! There are a couple of them that I actually gave away in elementary school class when all of us students had to exchange Valentines.
