Original Listing Description

Genuine vintage #3 Barbie, beautifully evenly faded face, arms and lower legs to a lovely, creamy white. The true sign of all #3 Barbies. She was wearing the same outfit since I got her and the areas covered by clothing are not as evenly faded. Some staining from a body suit. See all photos and look carefully. Correct marking on body for this doll. Hair is in perfect condition for this model of Barbie. Curly bangs. Blue eyes with rare blue eye shadow. She is wearing earrings that I was told are actually gold, thus no discoloration from them (they have been in since I got her 30 years ago). No green ears at all. Perfect hands with red polish. Her feet have issues. The surface of the right foot is rough. Not sure why. The left foot has a small piece broken off (happened very recently; I literally cried!) Close toed pumps will cover all and even protect her feet.The dress is a handmade design from a Vogue pattern similar to the Apple Print Sheath. It is not professional but pretty good, if I do say so myself. The print is the perfect scale for Barbie.I have taken into account the imperfections of this 65 year old doll in my pricing. The range of asking prices for the #3 Barbie is incredible (up to close to $4,000!) If you have ever wanted one of these but cannot bring yourself to mortgage your house for one, here is your chance for a really lovely one at a much more reasonable price. I'll include a reproduction box. And black mules. My gift to you is a doll stand (new).I am nearing the end of my own, lovely Barbie collection sale. I've saved the best for last. My dolls were collected mostly in the mid 1990's. My daughter (10 at the time) and I had so much fun going to doll shows and flea markets to find our gems, mostly from the early 1960's. It's time to pass them on to the next owner who can enjoy them as we did. I have been putting many dolls up for sale but they usually go very quickly. They are priced to sell. Thanks for visiting. Message me if you have any questions. Please save me so you can check out my latest offerings. Andrea (Condition: Pre-Owned)
