Description
4 1/2" (11 cm.) The circular lidded box has impressed garland edging, four arched legs, and a highly defined crest of Canada on the lid which hinges open to the inscription "Shirley Temple Canada Thanks You for your Generous Help October 1944". The box, made by Birks, is marked sterling. The inscribed box was presented to her in appreciation for her appearances in Montreal and other Canadian cities promoting Canada's WWII War-Bonds Drive. Included is a handmade scrapbook of that trip, with newspaper clippings, and notably with 14 original photographs of her on that trip, each documented on the reverse side.
