This sale is for an antique Shirley Temple composition doll produced in the early 1930\'s by the U.S.A Ideal Toy Corporation. She is wearing her original outfit - a blue version of the \"loop dress\" complete with her original slip, panties, socks, and shoes. The dress has the IDEAL tag with her name embroidered on it and the NRA (National Recovery Administration) eagle logo, which identifies it as one of the earlier Shirley Temple dresses made by IDEAL. Her signature curls are in very nice shape as you can see in the photos and are adorned with a blue ribbon that coordinates with her dress. All of herfingers and toes are intact, as are her eyelashes. She has an open mouth with lipstick and six little teeth.She is marked SHIRLEY TEMPLE Cop IDEAL N&T Co. on her head and SHIRLEY TEMPLE on her back. She has sleepy eyes which function well and she measures 18 inches in height.
Her composition has not been restored and is in good vintage condition with some light surface crazing at various points and no lifting, cracking, peeling or other major damage. There is a small stain on the back of the collar of her dress and a small loose string on one of the loops in the front. The dress itself is in excellent vintage condition.Her eyes are clouded as can be expected with a doll her age and she needs to be strung tighter.Overall she is a clean and bright doll and displays nicely!
Please look at the photos to help you decide.
Thank you for looking and good luck!
