    Description

    Vintage completely-original 1930s Shirley Temple Doll 16.   Dress in "Bright Eyes" Movie - Great Condition
    All original, vintage Shirley Temple Composition Doll Ideal 16 with “Bright Eyes” brown and gold plaid dress.
    The
    “Bright Eyes” movie was released in 1934.
    Included with the doll, I have added the original sheet music “On the Good Ship Lollipop,” copyright 1934, Movietone Music Corp. which was performed in the movie.
    This lovely Shirley Temple doll was a prized possession of my mother, so she has been well-protected in a smoke-free home:
    stored and carefully wrapped.
    Rarely-viewed.
    She has these features:
    Doll, clothing and accessories are all original.
    Sleep eyes with hair eyelashes on top.
    Open mouth with teeth.
    Original mohair wig with yellow ribbon and bow.
    Never combed.
    Original early-issue pin button with “THE WORLD’S DARLING – ORIGINAL SHIRLEY TEMPLE – AN IDEAL DOLL”
    Dress is marked “Genuine Shirley Temple NRA Doll Dress” Trademark
    In addition, the dress and undies have matching paper labels “16”
    Head marking:  (see photo).
    SHIRLEY TEMPLE in the shape of a half circle with COP IDEAL N.&T. Co. below.
    Body is marked “Shirley Temple 16”
    (The 1 is printed in reverse, see photo).
    Please note that I have made no attempt to clean her body or clothes, style her hair, or to remove /restore any of her clothes, shoes, etc.
    I am not an expert on Shirley Temple dolls, however, I have researched online, and she seems to be in superior
    condition to nearly all dolls for sale recently.
    According to shirleytempledolls.com, her head markings indicate she was made in about 1934, prior to full copyright issuance.
    Please review the photos to appraise her actual condition.
    I am highlighting key items I noted here:
    Composition – seems very nice, with very little crazing.
    She has two small spots on legs (white dots) and some dark marking (hands and elsewhere).
    Her lips are chipped (or originally painted incompletely).
    Overall body and hands – Doll needs a little cleaning.
    Stringing – head seems a little loose, while the body is ok.
    Eyes – her right eye is clear and her left eye is cloudy (see closeup photos).
    The eyes open and close as they should.
    Hair – intact with all curls.
    Never combed.
    Needs styling.
    Clothing – quite crisp and clean.
    Never laundered.
    Undies are white (not “yellowed”).
    Left sleeve edging is detached.
    Shoes and socks – original, shoe soles need re-gluing, snaps appear intact.
    I did not remove her shoes, so I cannot comment on the condition of her socks, shoes or feet.
