Bird In (On) Hand, Old Handmade Valentine with Poem from Beulah carved flowers comes with a laid paper

comes with a laid paper wrap printed with the letter "K" from the set

I believe the other heads are on posts too

all carved from one piece of wood

identifying this beautiful bug as a Meloe Monoceros

and especially the crooked mouth filled with a mix of gold and black teeth

Bird In (On) Hand, Old Handmade Valentine with Poem from Beulah carved flowers comes with a laid paperA charming old valentine or love note, all the better for being signed by a miss Beulah, who hand wrote a poem inside expressing "all my love for you." Great hand (looking a little like a talon), great bird, and I love how they arch in opposite directions. 5" x 3 5 8", very good condition, with decoratively cut edges. Early 20th c. I believe.
