Item History & Price
Information:
Original Description:
This original Barbie item is part of a fantastic collection of the hardest to find vintage 1959 to 1974 era Barbie dolls I will be posting to Ebay this week. The collection includes dolls for the most advanced collector. Unless noted below, the clothes are tagged as applicable and the shoes in each auction are not split and are original Barbie and correctly marked as appropriate. I always combine shipping for multiple auction winners so please take a look at our other aucti...ons and save on shipping! CONDITION NOTES: OK, I saved the best for last so here you are! This lovely and rare doll comes in excellent condition with lovely uncut hair in its original setting! Her high color face has excellent paint with no significant issues! She has no green around her ears. She has the holes in the bottom of her feet for the stand but the brass inserts are missing. Her nail polish is about 95% there and her body shows no significant wear otherwise! Her outfit shows no wear. She comes with her original earrings, glasses and 1st issue heels with the holes in the bottom. The stand has some surface marks on the top but no cracks or chips; however, I do see that the front hole is only partially drilled (factory flaw?) In any case, the stand comes with two replacement pins so you can still display the doll on the stand if you like. The box has a few tape repairs on the edges as well as several surface tears, as you can see. Still, it is the original 1st issue "T.M." box, is correctly marked for the doll and is surprisingly displayable! This doll is from a smoke free home and has no foul odors. You’ll be very impressed! PLEASE REVIEW THE PICTURE(S) AND JUDGE THE CONDITION FOR YOURSELF.Here are the markings I use to help determine the number and the year of manufacture of each doll as listed in the title:The 1959 #1, 1959 #2, 1960 #3 and 1960 #4 Ponytail Barbies (stock number 850) are all marked: Barbie TM/Pats.
