Beautiful Vintage #1 Ponytail Barbie Doll 1959 One Owner OG Stand & Collection!

RARE FIND! Number One Blonde Ponytail Barbie with the Original Early Fashions, Pronged TM Mattel #1 Stand Accessories and Case Little nine year old Alice received the first issue Barbie teenage fashion doll for Christmas in 1959. Mattel’s Barbie had just made her debut at the International Toy show in New York. This is a rare opportunity to own a very special number one Barbie with the original “one owner” childhood collection. It includes many early fashions, complete with the jewelry and accessories This Ponytail Barbie is stunning with her cute upturned nose and signature ponytail. She has dramatic lightning shaped eyebrows and handpainted makeup ; blue side glancing eyes, blue eyeliner, smoky eye shadow, coral red lips, red fingernails and toenails. She’s truly stunning and in remarkable condition for being 64 years old. She is 99% original and retains most of her original factory characteristics This number one blonde ponytail has the extended hairline, which is different from the number threes and later dolls. She is very unusual and rare in that she has two distinctly different hairlines from left to right. Her right side is curved and differs from the straighter hairline on the left. She is wearing her original hairstyle set with the top knot and hard curl at the bottom. The ponytail has been retied with matching colored thread as the band was shot. Her hair is uncut and she has no missing plugs. She has a flocked scalp, silky floss hair in baby chick yellow, full poodle bangs with well defined curls and a cute spit curl on her forehead. Her make up is excellent. as is the the nail and toenail polish. She has all of the correct markings on her bottom; Mattel Barbie TM, 1958 in Roman numerals, pat pending and the number 65. She is marked Japan on the bottom of one foot. Her limbs are nice and tight, but she is able to hold any pose. Her neck moves freely, and there are no issues. She has beautiful and even creamy, pale pinkish ivory body color which is amazing as I e usually sees a in e sort of fading . She has beautiful straight legs with the desired daylight shown only between the thigh and knee , and knee and ankle…A sign of classical beauty with models. She has holes in each of her feet with the original copper tubes present. And she even has her original Mattel TM two prong stand which is very valuable! She has had very minor work done.. a professional restoration to her right pinky and a little touch up to her eyelash ridges. There was also one teeny pinpoint freckle on her left leg just below the knee that has been touched up to match the body color . If you look closely at the photos, you will see how gorgeous this doll is. I have not seen one in original condition that is this outstanding. Barbie has a boyfriend , Ken, who will be listed in a separate listing. Blonde Barbie comes with her original iconic black and white swimsuit, white cat, eyeglasses, black, OT mules with holes. Thankfully her feet do not have any of the staining that is typical with these Barbies. She also has her original gold bangle, hoop earrings! One hole per ear and no green ear! How perfect is this girl?! She is FABULOUS! It was so fun to find Barbie in her original little nest with all the fun boxes and precious accessories that Alice had lovingly kept and preserved. You can tell that this Barbie was truly loved and treasured. Alice did not let other children touch or play with her doll :-)*** This collection would not be complete without a photo of little Alice in December of 1959 around the time that she received this Barbie for Christmas. The photo is included here and a printed copy along with the original provenance of this doll will come with the collection upon request Barbie will come with her original white Ponytail case , dated 1961.

Vintage Barbie 1960s Lot W Ken, Dolls, Case, Many Original Outfits, Accessories!

eBay Fantastic collection with so many accessories that are often hard to find! Dolls are in great shape, no green ear or neck splits. They are clean with a good stance. Barbie is all original with only some fading on her pink lipstick. Hangers and suitcases are included. All clothes are in good condition, clean and ready for display. Any flaws, I have found are shown in the last pic or described here. The orange jumpsuit for Dinner at eight has a small hole in one pant leg, but is covered by the outer dress. The Peach Fleecy coat has two small brown stains on the right side, one on the collar, which is hidden by a small magnetic brooch (cute solution!) and one just inside which doesn’t show when worn. Rest of the coat is very clean and displays well. The red shift dress is suberb! Great color and you can still feel the sizing in it. So clothes are played with but still good as seen in pics. Case has a few splits and some rusting but still looking good and useful for its age! Majority of clothes are Mattel with a few homemade pieces or clone. Ken’s corduroy plaid suit is very well made, does show wear on one cuff and sleeve. I expected to find a tag but there wasn’t one, so maybe just a talented seamstress? There is a black vest which matches, needs a snap. The yacht club outfit is one of the best I’ve seen as far as the coloring being bright and matching the pants. The baseball cap and chefs hat lettering had faded or rubbed as pictured. The red tassel belt on gold Pak dress appears to a replacement. The labels are missing on Ken’s yacht jacket and open road coat. Coat has some wear. One button is missing on the baseball shirt. Not all outfits are complete but are shown with accessories included. Nurses spoon is not original but rest of the outfit is. Shoes are Japan (not sure on blue and gold wedges ) and not split or cracked. White wedges have a few spots on top. There are some newer display items also, just for fun! I do not know the history of all the jewelry. The pearl necklace appears genuine but small ring on one side of closure is newer, so may have been replaced at one time. Rest is clone or handmade. Don’t know about the safety of earrings so wouldn’t leave in while storing. Bath sponge has been replaced on the end but handle is original. I always wrap purchases carefully and always try to ship the next business day after payment. Shipping only in the continental US. Non smoking home and I do try to inspect all items for odors or flaws, but can’t’t say I can’t say I won’t miss something. We do have dogs which are kept away from the Barbies and I run a tape roller over before packing hoping to catch any stray hairs out there. Biggest problem I’ve had lately is stray glitter flecks from my grandbabies making me Christmas ornaments! You can find that everywhere ?, but again, I do use the tape. Dress forms and other display items are not included. I haven’t been selling lately due to illness in the family but eager to start again. Have too much stuff! Please check out my other vintage Barbie items for sale. Happy to combine shipping. Thank you for looking! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
