The one on the right has a little envelope that says forget me not with a little calling card inside!

Antique Calling Cards
Here is some of my antique calling card collection. My favorite ones are the ones with the hands! I also love all the flowers~

Interesting how many of them have hands included in the design.

I love them. It’s funny-I thought calling cards were a newer idea. Evidently not. These are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful calling cards!!
ReplyDeleteWhy have I never thought of calling cards? I've heard them mentioned in books and dramas, but I've never seen them and never even considered how they looked. Aren't they pretty? And your collection is wonderful. Thank you for opening my eyes to something I really should have realised existed. xx
ReplyDeleteWow, they are awesome! What is it about such things that get our hearts pumping?? Happy Rednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection. My grandmother had an album of them and I have no idea what happened to it. Sad, because I would have treasured it.

People were so civilized back then, weren't they? You have a fabulous collection, and they're all just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday!

You have quite an extensive collection of those cards. I have not seen so many and different at one place. Great way to collect. Does not take a lot of room to keep.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this wonderful post? I was going back through Rednesdays looking for something and realized I overlooked this! I'm glad I found it - these calling cards are so beeeautiful! I hope you keep these out so you can look at them all the time. My favorite is the one with the red border (of course!).
