Vintage 17" IDEAL Shirley Temple Doll in Navy Blue Taffeta Tagged Skirt
Doll wears a navy taffeta skirt with red waist band with tag that reads, "
Shirley Temple Made by IDEAL Toy Corp
."
The navy skirt  sits on top of a sheer ivory colored blouse combination dress petticoat trimmed in lace.  She has white undies, cotton socks and red side knob shoes.  She is marked
IDEAL DOLL ST-17-1
on the back of her neck.
She has bright eyes and original facial coloring.  Hair has lots of curls and some of it may need some resetting or restyling.
There are some marks in her vinyl - see images.
The skirt has an opening in the seam on the hem at the right side. One of the snaps in the blouse needs to be reattached to the blouse on one side (its all there, just unattached on one side).
Her eyes open and close and her upper lashes are full, but sometimes one eye will be lazy in opening but usually gets back into place okay with a little help.
This particular outfit is featured on
page 193
in the book, "
Collector's Guide to Ideal Dolls Identification & Values 2nd Edition
" by Judith Izen where she describes the outfit as "unidentified" and appearing between 1959 and 1963.
I have photographed her just as I found her.  Her history of repair or past environments is unknown.
I have not noticed offensive odors.
My home is smoke free, but I do not know the doll's previous home environment.  She has been in my home for a brief stay only.
** Item is NOT mint. I have tried to photograph her from all sides with her wardrobe and without.  I'm only allowed 12 photos on Ebay.
If you need more photos, ASK.
I have mentioned flaws that I have noticed but I'm not an expert so there may be others.  Ask questions about what's important to you that I did not show in photos or mention in the description.  I will answer if I can. I don't guarantee that I will know but I try.

Doll is packaged very carefully.  She is wrapped in tissue paper before and then bubble wrap.  Bubble wrap will be lightly sealed with scotch tape so that you do NOT have to use scissors to unwrap the doll. I then use packing peanuts around the doll to cushion her within the box.

"in care of" type of labels using
