Vintage 17" IDEAL Shirley Temple Doll Twinkle Eyes (Flirty) & Yellow Nylon dress

Description

Vintage 17" IDEAL Shirley Temple Doll with Twinkle Eyes and Yellow Nylon dress
She is marked
IDEAL DOLL ST-17
on the back of her neck.  She stands 17 inches tall.
Her yellow nylon dress has the remnant of the original tag showing at the waist by the black velvet ribbon around her waist.
She has bright eyes that shift when she tilts her head known as "Twinkle Eyes" giving her fun flirty smiles.  She has lots of curls but may need to have them reset and smoothed out.
I needed a doll stand to stand her up and balance but she has tight joints and poses her arms well.
This particular outfit is featured on
page 155
in the book, "
The Complete Guide to Shirley Temple Dolls and Collectibles
" by Tonya Bervaldi-Camaratta.
One leg is lighter in color than the other.  There are some black marks from the ribbon on the yellow nylon where the ribbon hangs down.
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.

SHIPPING
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.
The buyer's name MUST be the name on the shipping label.  -
(I do not do
"in care of" type of labels using
C/O or CO).  If a name appears on the address different than the name of the buyer, I WILL CANCEL the order.
