Shirley Temple 20" Composition Doll In "My Little Girl' Red Scotty Dress & Coat

Description

Here is a fabulous 20" Shirley Temple doll.  She is dressed from the movie "My Little Girl".
She has clear markings on her back with the copyright sign on her head.  She has all her original curls and they are soft and fantastic.  Her face paint is all there. Her eyelashes painted and real are all there.  She has clouded eyes but they do not detract from her great face with no cracks or crazing. Her body is in great shape with slight wear at the joints.  Her stringing is a little loose and I will include the doll stand.
She is wearing her original shoes and stockings and I have not taken them off because the snap on these shoes is so fragile.  Her feet feel all there.  She also has on her original onesie slip.
Her red Scottie dress and red Coat and Hat with feather were made by C
atherine Kauffman.
Here is an article about Catherine and her Shirley Temple replication outfits:
"Catherine Kauffman, of Danville, Pa., is a self-taught seamstress who started sewing on a treadle sewing machine at age 14 out of economic necessity. One of 16 children, Kauffman’s mother died when Kauffman was only 11. The family couldn’t afford extras such as dolls. As a teenager, Kauffman honed her sewing skills working in a pajama factory and later as a seamstress in a hospital laundry. Sewing for dolls came much later after her daughter was born. Now Kauffman makes approximately 40 “Shirley Temple” outfits, creating patterns from pictures of the original costumes. Brigitte from France owns three outfits and is thrilled with the faithfully detailed reproduction Kauffman made for her composition Shirley Temple doll.
Kauffman’s customer, Ann Sting from Florida, sums up every vintage doll collector’s goal best in describing the outfits that Kauffman created for her composition dolls: “I want my dolls to be as original as possible but would rather have reproductions of the original outfits made by Catherine than buy high priced fragile dresses that are 60 or 70 years old. She researches her fabrics and creates each one to the finest detail.”
Please let me know if you have any questions.  This is a really nice Shirley Doll.
