Original #1 1959 Vintage Blonde ponytail Barbie with all accessories

Original #1 1959 Vintage Blonde ponytail Barbie with all accessories

eBay It is time to sell my older sister's #1 Barbie that she received in 1959. She is all original, never really played with, only used to make clothes for my Barbie later on. Her ponytail will need some care, the rubber bands have disintegrated over time and the ponytail has lost its curl. Her hair has never been cut, it just appears a bit shorter than usual because it is "fluffed". Her makeup is totally original, and in excellent condition. All nail and toenail polish is still there, one of the few flaws I see with her is from red shoes she has worn, there is some red on her feet from these. Absolutely no green ear at all. All joints are tight She does have a stain on her thigh, very light. The stand has a small piece broken out of one side, but doesn't show when that side is turned to the back. She doesn't have her original box anymore, the right lid was switched over the years, but she does have her booklet, (written in and some tears to pages) original black shoes with holes, earrings, sunglasses in excellent shape, stand and swimsuit. I even have extra black shoes I will send with her.I will pay shipping and insurance and double/triple box her. She is the best #1 Barbie I have seen on eBay recently, with the fewest flaws!

She comes with her original pronged stand for display as well as her black and white zebra striped swimsuit, hoop earrings and black mules with the holes (one shoe marked JAPAN).The rubber band holding her ponytail has deteriorated. She has the iconic black and white irises and beautiful makeup as well as complete fingernail and toenail polish. Her legs are stiff.

There is some color transfer on the bottoms of her feet from her mules. Her body is made of a heavy plastic and some areas have turned white over the years which is typical for this doll. She may be able to be cleaned however, I will leave that to the new owner. She is marked "Barbie, Pats Pend, ©MCMLV111, by Mattel Inc".This Barbie is definitely the holy grail.

Her face is one of the most beautiful that I have ever, still retaining all of it's original paint, even on her cheeks! Her hair is in it's original set and looks like the original rubber band. The only flaw that I can see is some discoloration on her feet where she had on shoes. It may come off but I ain't gonna touch it! Both of the metal shafts are present on the holes in her feet but one is shoved up into the hole, please see photos. All paint is present on her nails and toes. All limbs are tight and move well. Her torso even retains some of the original flesh color! Such nice clear crisp markings on her butt and foot. Comes with her original swimsuit and box. Box has one end missing and the other end has splits on the corners, please see photos. Also included are the coat and sheath dress for Evening Splendor. She had on this bra but I am not familiar enough with Barbie to know if it is a Barbie bra or not. It fits perfectly. Also one brown shoe with the hole in it, it is not marked Japan. These items came with the doll so I wanted to include them.FREE SHIPPING! This treasure will be shipped doubled boxed, priority mail, fully insured with signature confirmation Please feel free to ask questions and thanks for taking a look at my auction!

Vintage Barbie Ponytail, Original #1 Barbie From 1959

Here is a #1 Brunette Barbie from 1959 in excellent condition. Barbie comes with her swimsuit, #1 heels, sunglasses, #1 booklet, hoop earrings and Brunette TM box, all original. Also included is a reproduction stand. I have several of these which I personally prefer over the original. Barbie has a long ponytail which has been restyled. Her lips and nails have been refreshed in the past. No green ear. She has the Japan box on one of her feet. Both tubes are present, one pushed in and the other sticking out a little. Barbie has a slight pinky tone color to her vinyl. Same even tone coloring. All joints and head move. The box is in good condition. A few corners have been reglued. Nice bright graphics. Just a beautiful doll. Please ask any questions you may have as there are no returns. Barbie will be insured with signature confirmation. Most likely the insurance will be more, but if less than mentioned I will refund the difference. Thank you for viewing. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
