SHIRLEY TEMPLE: COLLECTIONS

June 2, 2018 in Linthicum Heights, Maryland

Born in the early 1930s, Iva Mae and Janet had each grown up in small town America, adored Shirley Temple during their childhood, and carried this admiration into adulthood, cherishing the treasures from their own youth, and then, beginning in the 1980s, beginning a keen search for all rare treasures related to their childhood idol. Their collections perfectly blend. Iva Mae concentrated on the Shirley Temple dolls, especially those wearing rare costumes, and Janet sought rare paper ephemera ranging from early sheet music to postcards and scrapbooks. The two collections feature more than 250 lots. Softbound. 8.5" x 11". 76 pages.
