A large assortment of paper dolls which belonged to Roberta Brinkley (Parrish). The group includes 4 different Shirley Temple dolls, with clothes, plus stand-up scenes of Shirley Temple on a bicycle, with snowshoes, with a dog, and asleep on the floor next to her dolls. Another group of dolls includes the figures Baby, Jimmy, Betty, Jack, Jill, David, Ruth, Mary, Anne, and Nurse, all with clothes and hats. Some of the miscellaneous toys and accessories may have been part of this set. A few pieces for the set Baby Sister by Queen Holden are found, as is part of the container in which the set came. As well, the group includes a boy doll, a girl doll, some miscellaneous dresses, cut-outs of fashion figures, an automobile, and two playing cards (the ace of spades and Weary Willie, but not necessarily the Emmett Kelly figure). Also in the group are three cardboard strips which when put together spell the word dog and show a picture of a dog.
