This Photogelatine (PECO) back appears to be from the 1930s and incorporates the Valentine logo. I was unaware of this collaboration before (or co-branding or whatever it was), but I don't generally collect much from this era.

Back of a typical unused Government Agent card. Notice the large number of countries named in the stamp box at this point, when more and more were accepting international delivery of postcards with messages at a cheap rate. The stamp box also assumes mailing in Canada, which is somewhat interesting as many of the cards were distributed in England (three of the four mailed cards that I have were mailed in England, as opposed to just one in Canada).
