Original Listing Description

Relisting this beauty after another cancellation. Serious offers only, please. Amazing Vintage Original #1 Blonde Barbie Doll No. 850 from 1959 wearing her original zebra stripe swimming suit & gold hoop earrings. She comes with her original cat eye sunglasses and black mules with holes She has all her blonde hair with no missing plugs in it's original factory ponytail. Her bangs look beautiful and curly. The ends of her pony seems to be fused together a bit. I didn't try to brush it out. She has her original hand painted face paint which is gorgeous. She has the arched #1 brows. No neck splits and no green ear. Her body is in excellent condition. It’s the correct solid TM body with the holes in her feet. It does look like the metal rods are sticking out a little from her foot bed and one has what looks like the prong of a #1 stand broken off inside the hole. She has faded to a fairly even ivory color. No loose limbs. She has all her red nail polish with little to no rubbing. She's marked Barbie on her bottom but the TM molding is a bit hard to see. She's also marked JAPAN crosswise in a "little rectangle" on her right foot. She does have some purple marks on her feet from wearing her shoes for many years. Please take a look at the photos. She is wearing her original zebra stripe swimming suit. No holes, stains or odors. Just some minor age related wear. She comes with her original blue lens sunglasses and #1 black mule shoes with holes in the bottoms. Since the pipes in her feet are sticking out a little, I had to work the shoes off...and now they don't really want to go back on. I'll let you decide how to proceed. The shoes themselves have no splits and the left is marked Japan on the bottom. I feel like they are more purply black after having leeched color into Barbie's feet all these years (oh my) and have some minor scratches on the foot beds from me taking them off. Please see the photos for Barbie's full condition details. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
