Handmade Shirley Temple Scrapbook Large Full of Black & White Color Photos Newspaper Articles Cut from Magazines Childhood to Married Life

This is a handmade Shirley Temple fan scrapbook, a large Scrap Book album with a red spine, filled with newspaper photos, magazine articles, and clippings.

The pages and clippings are toned and yellowed with age, some pages are bent, and the front cover carries handwriting, as the photos show.

A fan followed Shirley Temple from her early career to her marriage to and divorce from Jack Agar, saving pieces like Shirley Temple Becomes 21, Gets Control of Her Fortune, a Fun in Our Own Backyard photo feature, a Photo-Plays comic story, and a movie ad with David Niven. Full color magazine portraits sit between the black and white news photos.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
