Original Listing Description

A large lot. I am selling most of my vintage Barbie collection, and these are items that I've had for years. Condition is mixed. The bubble cut dolls are in nice condition. One of the bubble cuts is an early edition 1961 bubble cut with a very tight hairdo (the one wearing the zebra swimsuit). She has very bright face paint, all original. She has the "Barbie R" marking. One of her arms is slightly swingy when it is in the down position, but she holds the arm up when it is not in the down position. All the other joints are tight, and all joints are moving well. The other bubble cuts are from 1963 or later, with the "Barbie - Midge" marking. They are all in nice shape. One of the brunette bubble cuts has a very full hairdo. I am adding more photos of all these dolls. The blonde Midge doll is good except some fading on her face paint, not very noticeable until you look up close. The PJ doll unfortunately got a hair cut from a previous owner, but the rest of this doll is minty, with very full rooted eyelashes and bright original face paint. (This PJ would look great with the blonde Hair Fair braids and other blonde Hair Fair pieces!) None of these dolls have neck splits or obvious body flaws that I can tell. Many of the clothes items are TLC, as I will explain below. Some have been mended by me so that their flaw are not very noticeable when the doll is wearing it. For instance the "Extravaganza" gown had a tear in the net overlay in the back, and also a tear in the pink bodice under the net overlay in front. I mended it with closely matching thread so that it is not too noticeable unless you look up close. Some of the items have bigger flaws, such as the "Cloud 9" robe... it has a bigger tear in the lining. Some of the clothes are nice, such as the two Busy Gail body blouses in almost minty condition. There are some swimsuits in mostly nice condition. I am including some Mattel shoes. Some of them are excellent to minty -- for example there is a pair of black Japan open toe shoes in very minty condition --this pair looks as if it just came out of the package new, very shiny and smooth. The left shoe is marked Japan. There is one rare single black RIGHT open toe shoe, marked Japan -- for the 1959 #2 Barbie. There is a pair of white tennis shoes in excellent condition. There are some single mod T-strap shoes, which are kind of rare. Also some single mod pilgrim shoes. There is a pair of yellow rain boots, I don't know which outfit the yellow rain boots came from, but they are Mattel. Also there are several pairs of 1960's Mattel wedge sandals with metallic gold tops, some of them with the brown plastic bottoms, which probably originally came with Pak swimsuits, and one pair with cork bottoms. The cork pair have broken cork that needs regluing. I am adding more photos of these items, and also I will add below a detailed list below with all the items and their conditions. Let me know if you have any questions.On Mar-23-24 at 19:19:57 PDT, seller added the following info on dolls. 1) First bubble cut doll in the zebra swimsuit in nice condition except for a couple of flaws. As mentioned above the left arm is slightly swingy in the down position. When it's in the up position it holds there. All other joints are tight and moving well. One more thing that I did not see earlier that I should point out --there's a faint thread-like surface crack in the vinyl of the upper right arm near the armpit. It seems to be just on surface and nothing budges there at all - I don't know what caused it. I will try to post a pic. No other marks on body that I can see, very clean. No neck splits. On each ear there is a small earring hole that has darkened, but no green ear. Face paint is very bright, all original. Lip paint is slightly faded in some spots but not obvious. Looks a bit on the coral side. Body is "Barbie R" .Nail paint is coral, which surprised me because I thought 1961 dolls had red nails. Maybe a 1962 body with 1961 head?On Mar-24-24 at 06:51:54 PDT, seller added the following information:2) Midge doll - as mentioned above, face paint is somewhat faded and there is a bit of missing paint on lips. Also a faint pink stain around hips (as if she was wearing something red that stained the vinyl). Left arm is slighty swingy but she holds it in the upright position. 3). Blonde bubble cut w/ "Barbie/Midge" markings - nice condition, all joints tight and moving well. A bit of the coral-pink nail paint is missing, and there is a slight rub on eyelids. 4) Brunette bubble cut large bob, "Barbie/Midge" body NOTE - Pinky finger is missing on left hand. Face is a bit more tan than the body. Rub on eyebrows. Also a couple of small marks on face, as seen in photos. All joints tight and moving well. Red nail paint mostly present, but not on feet. 5). Brunette bubble cut small bob, "Barbie/Midge" body - this doll has some bigger flaws that I didn't see at first. Vinyl near feet very worn with scratches. Left arm is swingy. Also on right forehead a bit of hair was snipped.On Mar-24-24 at 07:06:31 PDT, seller added the following information:6) TNT PJ doll - as mentioned above, she has had a haircut, but other than the hair she is in almost minty condition, long full eyelashes.

One single long black tricot glove from Solo in Spotlight& Career Gril - minty. One single short white tricot glove, minty.

Previous owner had taken up the hem to shorten it. I let it back out, and there is a crease line remaining. Also a mend in lower back near skirt hemline, where seam had frayed. Sunflower dress - there is a spot halfway down front of dress. It looks like it might be a bit of spilled nail polish there. Rest of dress is in good condition. Zokko dress - I mended a tear in the back of the dress. Not obvious when the doll is wearing the dress. Rest of dress is nice and very shiny. Comes with one boot - there are a couple of marks on one side of the boot. Extravaganza gown - as mentioned above I repaired a tear in the net overlay in back. It is diagonal across the skirt area. Not visible in front. Also I mended the ripped seams in the front pink bodice under the net. Rest of dress is in nice condition.

Look brand new, but they are vintage Mattel early 1960's. One single RIGHT OT shoe marked Japan, made in 1959 for #2 Barbie. You can see the faint circle mark from the mold that Mattel used for this shoe -- they used the same mold from the #1 shoe with holes, and they filled in the hole for the #2 doll, leaving the faint circle outline. This shoe has some surface wear, but no cracks of splits and the heel is straight. One single RIGHT white OT shoe (regular). One single red closed toe shoe, marked Japan on bottom. One pair squishy teal blue tennis shoes marked Japan on bottom, from the Sea Worthy outfit, also Golfing Greats. Excellent except one shoe is just slightly darker than the other. A pair of white tennis shoes, excellent. Marked Korea on the bottom -- these are from early 1970's but they were made from the same mold as the early 60's Mattel shoes. Also one single white tennis shoe.On Mar-24-24 at 07:38:25 PDT, seller added the following are more items, some of them I mentioned above, and you can see on the photos.
