Delmer Morris' Valentine with Portrait for Opal Wright antique apothecary tin before rules changed to 4/3Yes, Valentine's Day is a ways off, but for me it's always the right time for a Valentine like this, sent from a Delmer Morris to a Miss Opal Wright I'd guess about 120 years ago. I really really love his large red heart with arrow through it, and the careful writing of VALENTINE, with an inexplicable space between the N snd E before his initials. And on the back that he felt it important to indicate that the photo was in fact "my picture"! 5 7 16" x
