Vintage Barbie Beautiful Brunette Side-Part American Girl in Box. This is truly a beautiful and rare find! She is a gorgeous Side-Part American Girl, and possibly the only one of her kind! All three, including this Brunette, have unusual hair fiber or color.

This particular doll is fully rooted with this beautiful glossy deep brunette, almost black, hair, which has a slightly coarser fiber than the standard Side-Part. The style is the typical SPAG style, as you can see in photos. The hair is rooted with factory chain-stitching (I have looked inside the heads on the three dolls). Because the immediate reaction is "why is this doll not just a re-root", I have researched this carefully.

It is virtually impossible to re-root a doll with factory chain stitching. I have gone so far as to discuss this with two of the most expert re-root people, who have said this doll was not done by them. One of the experts I spoke with owns several dolls that were brought home from Japan by her father.

These dolls were made by Mattel employees to take home for their own use (or as a gift, etc). One was similar in that the hair was not like any of the known marketed AG's. So it is very possible that this particular SPAG was made by a Mattel employee for personal use or a gift to a child. The other possibility is, it is a Prototype whose hair fiber did not get used in the production dolls.

The most likely place in the U. That such a doll would be found is L. Where this one was found.

She is gorgeous, with amazing hair, fully-rooted with no missing plugs, etc. Her face is original, no retouch. Lips have faded to a light peachy pink. NO GREEN, no earring holes.

No neck split, nose nip. Her Bend-leg body is in excellent condition, the only flaw is a slightly loose left hip, not too bad.

She has all her fingernail polish, none on toes. She comes in her AG swimsuit and turquoise shoes, all in excellent condition. She is wearing her original factory turquoise ribbon in her hair.

The gold stand is there, but fashion booklet is missing. The box, stamped "Brunette", is in very good condition. One corner split, some wear as shown. A VERY RARE AND LOVELY PIECE OF VINTAGE BARBIE HISTORY FOR YOUR COLLECTION! All my items are in a non-smoking environment.
