Doll News Summer 2018 - 41
O
ne day, as a young and inexperienced collector of dolls, I wandered into a local doll
shop to browse, expressing an interest in composition Shirley Temple dolls. The owner
directed me to a display of Shirley Temple dolls from her private collection. Wow!
She had a Shirley Temple doll in nearly every size available. Transfixed, I stood there comparing
various aspects of the dolls, such as facial shape and coloring, eye cuts, overall proportions, wig
styles and so forth.
Aha! A good way for me to collect dolls might be to assemble "study groups" of the same
model, collecting as many sizes as I could, with the widest variety of faces.
Over the years, I've met other collectors who have also focused on "study groups" of various
materials including composition and bisque. Even non-collectors who view them are surprised to
learn that within these groups, all the dolls are of the same model. The bisque groups from the late
19th and early 20th centuries show more obvious differences, since eye openings were generally
hand-cut and features were hand-painted. In producing different sizes of the same bisque head
distortion could occur, requiring a complete re-make of the mold. Even among mass-manufactured
dolls such the Shirley Temple dolls of the 1930s, there are differences between the sizes.
Whether bisque or composition - or whatever else one prefers to collect, the game plan is the
same. Decide for yourself: Are two of each model enough - are a dozen too many? By creating your
own "study group," you need never again pass up a doll just because you have another one like it.
These photographs demonstrate both the similarities and differences within these "study
groups." See if you can spot any that I have yet to discover.
These three Shirley Temple dolls
are later 1930s models with grey
eyeshadow. Although flirty eyes are
common in the 25-inch and 27-inch
models, they're harder to find in any
of these smaller sizes.
The two dolls on the right with
different wig styling are also difficult
to find. The Ideal Toy Company
freshened up the look of their Shirley
Temple line in the latter years of
production by giving her a new
hairstyle reflecting the maturing child
star's changed hairdo. The two dolls
on the right show this new style -
flatter on top, with the side curls held
farther away from her face.
