Vintage ORIGINAL 1930s Ideal Composition 16" Shirley Temple Doll - Red Dress, straw purse, shoes, socks & under garments. She is articulated and moves well. Flirty Eyes. 


This sweet doll is wearing A cute embroidered red dress ~The dress is actually Original to the 13" Doll ( I found under sold listings) and comes with socks, shoes and slip/undies.


Her shiny original mohair wig is full and a bright pretty blond.


She wears her original (I believe) crisp bright white slip/panty onesie.


• Her composition is bright, and colorful.

• Her painted features are all original, and her real hair upper eyelashes appear all there!!

• Her eyes are hazel (these are foggy); the whites of her eyes are still bright white.

• Her original wig is full, bright and shiny!

• Her dress is in good condition!

• Her original slip/panty onesie is in good condition, but has a bit of yellowing and a small tear at top.

• Her shoes are in great condition!

• I am not a doll expert, so please ask if you need more info. etc.


Flaws:

• Her face is smooth, with just a few tiny crazes, tiny flaking of paint under her eyes and tiny hairline cracks in a few places - all barely visible with the naked eye. There is one crack on bottom of eye and mouth.

• Her irises are crackling - as so many of these 1930s dolls often do.

• The composition on her limbs and body don't appear to have many crazes (crazes only affect the top layer of paint) But there are no cracks in her composition and no lifted paint.

• There are dirt marks that I did not try to remove.


• Her hair ribbon may have been replaced.

She bends very well.
