to Miss Shirley Temple, Musser consented to bestow the Cedros meteorite in appreciation of her interest in astronomy and meteoric phenomena”. As part of the gift, Musser had a special cross necklace made for Shirley of the meteorite so “every time she sees a falling star (meteor) she can clutch her cross and dream over the millions of years that Biela’s Comet may have been traversing space, and the millions of billions of miles it travelled”. A special custom wooden box to hold the meteorite and cross were constructed, in which the gift was posted to Shirley Temple.

Also included are notarized 1939 photographs of the meteorite and the cross, as well as a detailed chemical analysis. The meteorite remains well-preserved, the cross necklace no longer exists.

This extremely rare and important gown was designed by Adrian (Adrian Adolph Greenberg, 1902-1959), a couture designer of the elite, first as lead costumer at MGM from 1928-1941 where he designed costumes for more than 100 films, the most noted being “The Wizard of Oz” including the famous ruby slippers; and then, as head of his own couture salon on the Sunset Strip where important celebrities would visit to have a gown designed, draped and fitted.

His work is revered by couture collectors and featured in museums. A custom gown for Shirley Temple was homage to her importance in the industry. This gown is a true work of art, an apt interpretation of her famous childhood gown from “The Little Colonel” now transformed into a unique fashion statement for a sophisticated woman. $1500+

In the 1930s, Shirley Temple’s parents contracted with the Rosenau firm of Philadelphia in the production of a line of clothing for young girls, inspired by the Shirley Temple “look”.

Immensely popular at the time, the line gradually lessened in demand during the late 1940s and 1950s, until, in 1958, Shirley Temple reinvigorated the famous “Cinderella, Inspired by Shirley Temple” clothing line, still to be made by Rosenau. The dresses shown on the following pages are from the 1958 era, and each is an actual sample that was sent to Shirley Temple for her approval before manufacturing began. Each is size 4 (not so coincidentally, it seems, the same size as the Shirley Temple Playpal doll also introduced at that time), and each bears the “Cinderella, Inspired

by Shirley Temple” label. Many also have the original manufacturer’s work label indicating the model number and the wholesale price per dozen. The dresses, of wonderful fabrics and construction,
