Original Listing Description

This listing is one of a huge collection of vintage Barbie and friends dolls, clothing and other items I will be posting this week! The listings will range from some of the rarest Barbie collectibles right down to the more common items that will help complete your doll and outfit needs! Surely, something for every collector! I always combine shipping for multiple auction winners so please take a look at my other auctions and save on shipping!THESE ARE THE MARKINGS I USE TO IDENTIFY THE YEAR FOR THE #850 DOLLS:The 1959 #1, 1959 #2, 1960 #3 and 1960 #4 Ponytail Barbies (stock number 850) are all marked: "Barbie TM/Pats. Pend ©MCMLVIII by Mattel/Inc." (note the TM after the word Barbie )(1961 1962) - Barbie ® Pats. Pend. ©MCMLVIII by Mattel Inc.(1963) Midge T.M./©1962 Barbie ®/©1958 by Mattel, Inc.In 1964 the word "Patented" was added.CONDITION NOTES: This vintage doll comes in excellent condition with lovely untrimmed hair in almost its original set! (Her longer hair strand is not wrapped around the ponytail gathering but fingers smaller than mine should be able to wrap it properly.) She has an excellent high color face with pale pink lip paint. She has no green around ears and her nice non-corrosive replacement earrings will keep them nice! She has a lovely hollow torso "Midge/Barbie" body with nice snug limbs and no marks, chips, chews or other excessive wear. She has about 90% of her original nail polish as well. Her original suit and heels come in excellent condition showing no significant wear. Her original outfit shows only minor discoloration to the top and the red felt purse matches it nicely. PLEASE REVIEW THE PICTURE(S) AND JUDGE THE CONDITION FOR YOURSELF. NOTE: I try to take clear pictures in indirect sunlight that clearly show the item’s natural color as well as any flaws so please be sure to view the picture(s) in order to judge the condition for yourself. I will note any flaws not readily visible in the pictures. Please feel free to ask any questions as well. Please note that the camera picks up lint and dust resting on the items and accessories that may appear as flaws. Please examine each picture carefully for actual flaws keeping in mind that most of these items look far better in person than they do in the pictures. I will note in the CONDITION NOTES any details or flaws that are not readily apparent in the pictures but please keep in mind that I sometimes miss a small problem. Please feel free to email me if you have a question or if you see something I missed so I can correct the auction.Unless you do not wish to pay for it, all shipments will be fully insured.
