Valentine’s Day means a lot of different things to different people, but there’s a certain level of nostalgia about Valentine’s cards being passed around in school that make us smile.

This collection of vintage Valentine’s might be before our time, but the sentiment is cute, corny, and nostalgically delicious.

Mostly from the 1940’s, note the heavy use of puns throughout the cards, almost like the cornier the pun, the sweeter the sentiment.
