Original Listing Description

eBay Vintage Original #3 TM Blonde Barbie Doll No. 850 from 1960 wearing her original zebra stripe swimming suit, #1 black mules with holes & original pearl stud earrings. Oh my gosh, I cannot get over how beautiful this doll is. She has all her blonde hair still in its factory braid. Her curly bangs look amazing to me! The elastics have come apart with age. But, I'm just leaving them as-is. Her makeup/face paint is all original with no touch ups. She has the brown eyeshadow and her lips and blush have faded to a gorgeous coral color. She has her original pearl earrings in but no sign of green ear! Not sure how that happened. I tried to pull them out to check. But, they are in there quite tightly and I didn't want to break them or her ears. No neck splits I could see without removing her head. Her body is in excellent shape. She's faded to a quite even ivory color and has no loose limbs. I just gently removed her swimming suit, gave her a mild wipe-down took photos and put it back on. She's marked TM on her bottom. The only thing I could find was a few little black dots on one of her legs that look like original inclusions from the molding process to me and her shoes have left some magenta spots on her feet. I guess that happens when you wear the same shoes for 60 years. LOL. She has all her red nail polish. It looks like one of her fingers got a factory double polish where there is some that goes above the nail onto her finger. She is marked JAPAN on her right foot crosswise in the "little rectangle." She is wearing her original zebra stripe swimming suit. No holes, stains or odors. Just some age related wear. Her shoes are the #1 black mules with the holes in the footbeds. No splits and the left is marked JAPAN on the bottom. Please see the photos for full condition details.

But, I wanted to state specifically. :) Cheers! H (Condition: Pre-Owned)
