Perfume sachet Valentine (c1860 to 1880)

Perfume sachet valentine c 1860 1880

By lifting a small tab, a hidden message is revealed, printed on a pad of perfumed silk. Affection's Offering.

"God bless thee" through each coming change
That life can ever know,
Is still the sweetest melody
Affection can bestow.

The brightest wish, the dearest hope,
The deepest, tenderest prayer,
The heart can for its dear one breathe
While life is throbbing there.
