    Vintage Ideal Shirley Temple 11” Doll Little Colonel Dress circa 1930s.
    She is one of many from my 30+ years of collecting Shirley Temple memorabilia.
    This is the smallest of Ideal’s Shirley Temple Dolls of the 1930s at 11”.  She is in need of some TLC. She has no significant cracks or crazing on her composition body, but her face has cracks around her eyes and mouth.  The back of her head also has a chip in the compo.  Her toes on both feet are also chipped.  She has a hole in the bottom of each foot, which reminds me of the dolls that had stands that went into the feet.
    She has sleep eyes that are damaged and she has most of her eyelashes.
    Her mohair wig is thick and curly but could use a combing.  The back is flat due to the hat.  She could use a restringing, but she stands perfectly on the stand (which is included).
    Shirley wears the classic dress from the movie The Little Colonel. It is not tagged so I cannot authenticate it and there are so many variations out there that it is hard to tell, but the dress and hat are both extremely well made and appear to be original.  It is clean and has no rips or tears.  It has 2 snap closures.  She also has very pretty lace trimmed pantaloons which wrap around and tie and the slip has a snap closure.  The felt shoes are replaced.
    She has been kept in a display case in my smoke-free home for many, many years.  I am downsizing so it is time for her to go to a new home to be loved as I have loved her.  She is not marked with the usual Ideal logo but she is marked Shirley Temple 11 on her head and torso.
    I welcome any questions.  I generally ship on Mondays & Thursdays, but will do next business day when possible.  Sales tax may apply.
    Good luck and thanks for looking.
