Button Face Valentine

Vintage 1930s valentine card from my Mother's collection. The poem, printed in hard to read gold ink, reads:

 

Button-face oh! Button-face,

Be my Valentine!

With big round eyes and ivory skin,

Ev'ry grace is thine!

 

She has a real, hand painted button for a face. Unfortunately there is a crack in the button.

 

The back of the card is printed Raphael Tuck & Sons. LTD. London, Paris, Berlin, New York, and Montreal. Printed in Germany.
