Vintage Barbie 1959 #2? Doll TLC Condition - Face Repainted
SOLD $1,176.00 Sold: Dec 24, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
This doll is from a vintage Barbie collection that I have recently acquired so i do not know the history of this doll.She appears to be a vintage #2 Barbie from 1959 that is in TLC condition so please read before bidding. Her face paint has been repainted and sealed. I do not know what artist did this work. She has dark spots around both ears, so it seems that they may have been treated for green ear at one time. She has several earring attempts on her head around her ears (please see photos). Her hair may have been cut? It was in a short ponytail and I restyled it into a bun. Some of her curly bangs are loose and need to be restyled. Her neck knob had been repaired at one time, and is splitting, so it needs to be re-glued. It causes her head to be a bit loose. Her torso is darker than the rest of her body. It is marked: "Barbie T.M., Pats. Pend., MCMLVIII, By Mattel, Inc., with a number "B 48" on the other cheek. Her left leg is frozen in place; could have been glued. One of her feet is marked "JAPAN". She will come wearing a pair of hoop earrings, a reproduction swimsuit and a pair of unmarked white open toe heels.This Barbie would still display nicely wearing one of her vintage fashions so don't miss your chance to bid! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
