What does this mean?

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

It is a beautiful vintage Shirley Temple doll. Such vintage toys are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
In particular well kept Shirley Temple dolls are sought after by both collectors and dealers. Your doll appears to be in good condition with the normal signs of wear and use, but well kept and with the original clothes and accessories. This is important for the second hand value. When you look at the market there are quite a few Shirley Temple dolls in various sizes and with various outfits for sale. Also in this particular size and with the same original clothes.

However still I believe that your doll would attract the attention of both collectors and dealers if it came up for auction due to its good condition.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online toys auction, where I believe the doll has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the Shirley Temple doll. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.
Thank you
