Original Listing Description

This auction is for a rare, hard to find 1959 #1 blonde ponytail Barbie doll. There were only 350,000 #1 Barbie dolls made in this issue. She has a beautiful face with the characteristic inverted V or lightening bolt eyebrows, side glancing eyes with white irises, blue eyeliner, curly bangs, and metal cylinders in her legs that end with the holes in her feet for her doll stand. Her doll stand was not found with her. Her eyebrows are intact as her ruby red lips. Her right eyebrow is faint at the outer edge, but it is there to make her eyebrows complete and original. Her gold tone hoop earrings are artist's custom reproductions of the original earrings, and look very appropriate. Her light tone, heavy body is pale, indicative of the #1 Barbies, and feels solid. She also comes with her original sunglasses with blue lens. The right arm of the sunglasses is looser than the left, but both stay on her head when placed. I see there are reproductions of the original doll stands that can be found on ebay to complete her look. I will leave that up to the new owner! She was found with many of the clothing outfits made as those first issue of Barbie outfits which I will be listing soon. Japan is marked on bottom of her foot closer to the heel on her right foot. She is an estate sale find! She comes from one prior owner and a pet free home. It says that I ship within 2 days, 99.9% of the time, I ship within 24 hours. Please feel free to email me with further questions or if you would like specific photos. I expect payment within 48 hours of auction's end unless other arrangements have been made. I ship internationally first class to most countries. If item is a higher priced, priority mail with insurance. Russian, Spain, and Italy require Express Shipping with Insurance. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
