Based on the time period this doll was manufactured and sold on the market, it is believed it was not a personal childhood doll of Bernice Jackson Lang (1897-1988), her mother Wilmette (Minnie) Belle Jackson (1859-1950), or Lindy Lou Lang, Bernice's aunt or sister-in-law. These are the three people who collected the dolls HC accessioned as the 88.410 Lang Doll Collection. It is believed that this doll, as well as all of the Shirley Temple dolls associated with the Lang collection were "collected" (as opposed to used by) by any one, or a combination, of the three women as additions to their doll collection.
