Vintage Composition Doll

Vintage 20"Composition Unmark Doll Miss Charming?Brite Star?Shirley Temple Style

1930'S EEGEE - HORSMAN OR IDEAL TOY CO

Height: 20in

Note from a seller: Here is a beautiful big 20" doll I believe to be a Miss Charming, Brite Star, Miss Movie or similar doll to look like and compete with Shirley Temple. Probably made by E. Goldberger Co (Eegee), Horsman, Arranbee or even Ideal Toy Co. as one of their knock-off dolls in the early 1930's. I'm not sure who she is as she is not marked but darling and a close ringer to Shirley Temple. She is all composition. She has a very nice dark blonde replaced wig still in the original Shirley type curly set and made by Monique. It is not glued on but fits her very nicely. Her original wig was stapled on as you can see by residue staple holes on her head. This little girl measures 20" tall. She does have a few flaws but being 80+ years old and a play doll she has held up well and in excellent condition. Her face is beautiful with an open mouth and little white teeth but her lips have some rubs with a little loss of color. She has very nice light brown real lashes with just a few missing from the center of the right eye, painted under lashes & brows and heavy eye shadow. Her big amber brown eyes are clear and function well. She does have a little glue residue from her old wig on her face and head, a tiny paint chip on her left cheek and a 1/2" split at the neck in the seam below her left ear. Her body is nice with all fingers and toes and just some very light paint rubs. I really don't see any crazing. She has some blackish rubs on her right wrist where a bracelet or similar item was attached and at her ankles where her socks rubbed.

She has on a vintage replaced dress of pale pink organdy in the Shirley "Baby Take A Bow" dance dress style with a little flower applique on the ruffled collar with a very full skirt trimmed with a pale mint green silk ribbon at the waist. It opens in the back and fastens with snaps. It fits perfect and looks adorable on her!

She is also wearing pink panties with relaxed elastic, a white cotton half underslip trimmed with lace, white rayon knit socks that do have a few holes in them but are clean and I believe original, vintage cream (may have originally been white) suede shoes with a gold medalion inset at the front which are all intact.
