SOLD $8,900.00 Sold: May 10, 2025 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Vintage and very hard to find original #1 Brunette Barbie Doll with her black and white swimming suit from 1959. I was so excited to find her. She has all her original face paint with no touch ups. How pretty are those arched brows? Her lips have naturally faded to an orangey-red color. No green ear or neck splits. Her hair is in it's original ponytail with no missing plugs I can find. Her bangs are still very curly, although a touch all over the place. The ponytail is a little on the loose side and the ends seem to have lost some curl. You could totally restyle it if you'd like. I gave her a new lower elastic. Her body is in excellent condition. No loose limbs. She has all her original red finger and toe nail polish with just a little minor wear. There are just a few spots that look to me like they were from the original molding process- light indents on her right arm, a couple lines on the left arm and a raised spot on the back of her right calf. The color from her shoes has seeped into her feet giving them purple shoe shaped marks. This seems to happen with #1s and #3s who have been wearing their shoes for 50+ years. She has holes in both of her feet to accommodate the #1 stand. It looks like the copper tube on her right hole is pushed up inside about 1/8" from the bottom of her foot. The left is sticking out slightly. She's marked Japan lengthwise on the bottom of her right foot and Barbie TM on her bottom. Please see the photos as part of her description. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
