Original Listing Description

eBay She's been a nurse and a doctor, a flight attendant and an astronaut, a ballerina and a cowgirl. She's walked the runway and raced down the highway. Now it's time for Barbie to start a new chapter in her life -- this one with you.It won't be easy. She and I have been buddies for 63 years. But the time has come to say good-bye.She's that rare, hard-to-find No. 3 Brunette Barbie with Blue Eye Shadow. Her condition is "gently played with" -- just enough to add character and personality, but no serious damage. All her joints are good, her makeup is fresh, and her nail polish is good -- just a bit of chipping on her left hand.She doesn't have green-ear. What she does have is brown marks on her ears from rusty earrings. But the earrings cover the discoloration. And yes, she comes with 3 earrings. One of the originals has lost its pearlized coating. The third earring is slightly larger than the other two, but it fits just fine.The tie at the bottom of her ponytail came loose years ago, but that can be easily fixed. She has two black marks on her bottom, most likely from being stored for many years while wearing her black-and-white swimsuit.On her bottom, it says: "Barbie ™, Pat. Pend., © MCMLVIII By Mattel Inc." On the left side is the number 56. Her right foot is marked "Japan."The metal part of her original pedestal stand is showing some age, but a bit of spray paint would fix it right up. The box is sound, with just one cracked corner. A naughty child drew beards on some of the Barbies on the box.

This does NOT mean her make-up has been touched up or restored. All the paint on her body is original and in very good condition. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
