What is my doll worth?

Question

How can I find out what my Shirley Temple doll is worth? It was bought in the early 1930's for my mother. It has all original clothes and has the # 13 on her back under her name. It is in good condition, but not mint condition.

Answer 1

I think that the Antique road Show has a web site.Maybe they can help you if you send them a picture or you can go to ebay.

Answer 2

Maybe try looking on e-Bay and seeing how much similar dolls sell for.

Answer 3

I have been selling Shirley's for Families for years, She by the 13 mark means she is 13 inches tall, Please do not replace the wig the wigs can be re-curled with the 21 curls to look original and the dress does not need to be washed unless its done in perk from Twin Pines so that you do not loose the sizing of the cloth. There are some great books on Shirley Temple dolls and in the back it does talk about the care of them.

A 13 inch Shirley in the blue dress with a trunk of clothes just sold on ebay for 1,300.00 and some in lesser condition have sold in the 500.00 range.
