How can you tell what year a Shirley Temple doll is?

To determine the year of a Shirley Temple doll, check the markings on the doll’s body or the tags, which often include a date or production code. Additionally, the doll's features, such as the type of eyes, hair, and clothing style, can provide clues about its era, as different designs were released over the years. Reference books or online databases dedicated to doll collecting can also help identify specific models and their corresponding years.
