Barbie is marked 'pats pending MCMLVIII' by Mattel Inc. in roman numerals '1958', her foot is marked Japan. Barbie case says 1961 and is in good used condition. She is from 1961 since the "Bubblecut" was released then and the hairstyle was stylish due to Jackie O. Ken is marked '1960 Hawthorne, CA'. This was my mother's Barbie set, it's in good used condition with appropriate wear due to age, use, & storage. Please examine photos closely for condition. I gave the doll light cleaning, there are minor green marks by her ears due to the original earrings (included in her accessory box). My grandma sewed some clothing for the dolls that will be included in a ziploc bag along with a baby doll, these are shown in the second to last photo. There is some wear on clothing and accessories; I tried to show some of this in the third to last photo. I have included Barbie and Ken modeling different outfits, this set includes a whole bundle of original clothing. Outfits include but are not limited to: babysitting, evening gowns, ballet, cocktail attire, bathing suit, underwear, dresses, Ken's baseball jersey, swim trunks, tuxedo, etc. The accessories are in fair condition.
