Vintage #3 Ponytail Barbie Brunette Ivory 1958

  

Up for sale is this absolutely stunning #3 ponytail Barbie. She has brunette hair which has been re-set with a top knot ponytail.

The bottom band snapped and her curls are still bouncy. This doll had some minor touch ups by a professional restorationist. Unfortunately I do not know who, but this is one of the nicest touch ups I have seen. Her brows have a light color washing, you can see this most prominently on the left brow towards the front.

Her lips have also been repainted, as have her nails and toes. She also has blush which I would venture to say was added. Her bangs are a bit separated.

Half push downwards to her forehead, the other half are flush with the top of her head. Part of her bangs on the right side will not come over, it is almost as if they are matted to the corner of her head. There also APPEARS to be a missing plug on her hairline on the right side, however, there is no plug hole there. Her hair has a bit of frizzy-ness that photographs worse than it appears in real life! Although she is not original, this doll is a knockout.

It pains me to part with her. Her body is an amazing Ivory tone, and she has the rare nipple body. There is a mark on one of her legs, right by her right rear. This is a mold mark. Her rear reads Barbie T.

It is clear to read! Her left foot curves EVER so slightly inward. I didn't even notice it until I took these photos! Barbie does NOT come with the pedestal stand. She will come with a black and white stripe zebra swim suit and these reproduction gold hoop earrings. She will display beautifully in your collection, especially in anything red! I had her in commuter set myself and it really made her pop! I would be more than happy to provide additional photos upon request.
