GORGEOUS All Vintage 3 Brunette Ponytail Barbie TM Box Stand 1959 1960
Item History & Price
I purchased this doll from the original owner several years ago. This doll has not been passed around like so many you see for sale these days.
I have not cleaned or altered her, but you may want to give her a wipe down.
This number 3 Barbie is simply gorgeous. She has that special sweet face that you do not run across every day. Her dark blue eyes and her scarlet lips are mesmerizing. She also retains hints of blush and eye shadow. Her paint is of course original and has n...ot been altered and as far as I can tell is complete (there may be some age related wear that is not visible to the naked eye, this doll is over 60 years old after all).
Her hair is very beautiful and FULL! MUCH fuller than most. Hair this thick is not common. Her hair was obviously not brushed or combed. As such, I have left it alone. I did add a bottom rubber band to her ponytail to keep it in place as the bottom curl has fallen apart.
Her body is mostly an even porcelain-like tone, aside from some pinker shading in some areas. This is typically due to storage and general age with these dolls. There is no major staining that I see aside from what you would expect to see from handing and age. Her limbs move freely
There is a very small amount of green in her left earring hole - not visible with an earring in, hardly worth mentioning, but pictured.
Barbie will arrive with her original TM box marked BRUNETTE as is appropriate. The box does show age. One end does have some fading to the orange and split corners have been repaired - by me with acid free adhesive, one corner is still split. Either way, these TM boxes are getting more and more difficult to come by and are very valuable in their own right as few have survived. The brunette Barbie is more rare than the blonde Barbie as only 1 brunette was made for every 3 blondes which makes the box even harder to find.
The TM pedestal base has been repaired, so I have added an R base. Both work, but I wanted to include both for the buyer.
You are buying this doll from a very picky collector, as such, I try to mention everything I can about the items that I sell and I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. The number 3 Barbie is increasing in value and in my opinion is a good investment.
Remember that this doll is old, as such, it may have age and storage related aromas that my nose does not detect. Having said that, I do keep my dolls in a smoke and pet free environment that is temperature and humidity controlled.
Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail with insurance and signature service. Barbie will be insured for the entire value and as such will require signature upon delivery.
I do try to get items shipped out the day following payment but current world events may cause a delay by a day or two.
