Photos, Postcards and what else?

Valentine & Sons are best known for their postcards and photographs  but they also produced several books  -  and what else?

 

1.

Playing Cards

St Andrews University Library have a large archive of Valentine & Sons postcards.  The library sometimes receives questions about other items produced by the company.

Staff at the Library tell me that they have been told of playing cards that were produced by the company, and that it was those overseas  businesses whose Valentine stock went beyond postcards that remained open when others closed in the early 20th century.

QUESTION

Can you  help me identify an item I found with some family books?

Just a brief description: It is a small (almost 41/2 ins x 31/2 ins) religious picture with a little stand (like a free standing picture).

On the back is printed:

 VALENTINE'S
"PLAQUETTES"
SERIES M6/501/6       
 (could be M6/506/6 it is hard to see)

Printed in Great Britain
V & S Ltd     D & L

Hand written it is dated: July 23 1943

On the front it says:

"GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH,

A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE"

 psalm 46.1

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

If you can provide any further information, please e-mail me and I will pass on your message to Sally Lewis.  Thank you.
