Vintage Composition 1930's Shirley Temple Doll, 16" Very Nice!

Description: I simply adore 1930's Shirley Temple dolls! I have many, but what attracted me to this particular Shirley Temple was that her composition face has no cracks or crazing! Looking very closely, you can see a very faint hairline crack above her nose. Her eyes are quite nice, and her wig is original. There are a couple of spots of worn paint, and some marks on her face, but these dolls are not new! I did my best to conserve her and now wish to share her with another Shirley Temple doll lover. When I got her, her body was broken and missing a large piece. I found the correct 16" Shirley Temple replacement body, restrung her and then focused on her feet. Unfortunately, the toes were broken off both feet. So I did mold new toes and tried to match the paint. The feet are covered with period correct shoes (at least in style), and you can see the repair in the photos. She has one small composition crack on the right leg, but it is not bad. Please see the photos for details! I really felt my job was to conserve her, not do some over the top "restoration/redo". Her body has been cleaned, and her wig was untangled and re-curled. She is wearing a brand new custom made Shirley Temple dress made from a Shirley Temple dress pattern. 16" is a wonderful size! She is big enough to enjoy without fear of damaging her, and she will fit nicely on a shelf. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I am happy to get back to you right away.
