Original Listing Description

eBay This doll is preowned but in very nice condition for the age! Please see all pictures for details - any questions please ask - I will be happy to answer, send more pictures, etc!The doll does not have any major damage. There are some very minor scuffs from normal wear. Her legs have a dirty 'cast' to them but could possibly be cleaned up by someone who knows care for vintage dolls! Fingernail and toenail polish both still look nice!Face paint still looks good, face could be cleaned up by the nose a little bit. Hair is in good shape for the age as well and looks to be in original ponytail. She does still have her earrings although it looks like there's some 'greening' around them.The bottom of her foot is marked 'Japan'. Her behind says Barbie & Pats Pend and has a 6. **As best my husband and I can tell, her year marking shows VIII so we are guessing this is 1958. Please look closely at the close up picture** However I have also read this doll could be 1961-1962I am not a professional on vintage Barbie's so if you need more info, please ask! This is why this listing is on bidding since we do not know the true value.On Aug-29-23 at 15:03:07 PDT, seller added the following information:*I have had several questions, so adding - This Barbie was purchased at an estate sale of an elderly couple whose kids were running the sale. This Barbie came in a vintage Barbie case (you can also find listed on ebay store, 1963 Barbie & Ken case) in addition to vintage Barbie clothing. I do not believe this is a reproduction doll based on my research and the doll's markings, in addition to the green around the earrings (which is common in vintage Barbies). I wanted this to be added to the listing to answer some of the questions. This doll is being sold as is, so please make sure you are aware before placing a bid. Thanks! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
