1930's 13" Ideal Shirley Temple Doll In As Original Condition Imaginable. Untouched For 75 Years

We believe this may be the most complete 13" Ideal Shirley Temple Doll to come into the doll market. Shirley's green eyes open when upright and close when prone. There is the original Ideal Toy Company tag attached to the dress. Even the dress is special called the Scottie dog dress. Her original dress from the movie recently sold for over $5,000 Everything that came with the doll in the 1930's is still intact except if there were a box. I have checked the back and Shirley Temple is embossed on her back. We don't want to expose the Shirley Temple and risk messing with the undergarments. Shirley Temple is also embossed on the back of her neck . There are some spots on her leg as shown in photos. We haven't tried to clean or touch in any way.
This and several other dolls were transferred from a Hope chest to a tote after our mothers passing last spring. I knew that was a boxed Skookum doll but this came as a surprise. It was the only one we hadn't looked at last spring, maybe due to hiding inside six wraps of tissue paper in the bottom of the tote. We are certain she hasn't touched the doll since the late 1930's and in fact told me she thought it was taken by here sister decades ago.
Pricing
I know what it would bring on the huge inhuman auction site eBoo or something due to 23 years dealing at that site. I love the auctionninja site, the people and the software. I would gladly have it sell for much less here to a ninja patron. Being new here and without creds or a past history a great item could easily slip through and a economic blunder occur. Starting at a fraction of what it will sell for should we be forced to offer the Shirley Temple else where.
As with all collectibles including baseball cards the adage has always been when buying something if you buy the best conditioned example it will increase in value far beyond the norm. We would hope that a patron here would appreciate the significance of this doll. It's the doll of your life opportunity that will unfold this Thursday evening.
