Vtg Barbie 1959 #1 Ponytail Doll with Gay Parisienne, Easter Parade, Roman Holiday

  

This listing is for all the items you see pictured. #1 Barbie Doll with brunette hair, her original box & accessories. I have more pictures displayed below the "fine print" of this listing. If you're not able to view them, feel free to message me, I can send them to you through there. These items are not for the mint collector and show some wear, a couple of the outfit pieces are reproductions.

Full descriptions are listed below. #1 Barbie Doll: She has been alcohol tested and all paint is original.

She appears to have a tiny bit of fading to the right side of her lips, rest of the face paint looks intact. Only one hole per ear and no greening. Her hair is all original and doesn't look to have been cut.

It could use a re-styling though. Earrings may or may not be original, I don't know how to tell. She has some fading/redness to both cheeks, almost like there was blush there that faded, Her body has retained some color and she's not as white as some others I've seen. Finger and toe polish is very nice.

Her body shows some minor marks here and there, but nothing major. The most notable issue I see is some discoloration on her feet from the shoes. Left tube is sticking out a bit from the foot, right tube may be pushed up inside, I can't tell.

She is wearing her original swimsuit and comes with her sunglasses, black OT #1 shoes (no splits, left marked Japan), and original Barbie TM booklet. She does not have a stand. The original box is very nice. The bottom has no notable issues, the lid looks like it may been glued in the top corner and it has some small surface tears in that area. Rest of the lid shows just minor wear.

Gay Parisienne Outfit: This outfit is all original and both the dress and stole have TM tags. The dress has nice coloring and the white dots are very nice.

Shows just very minor wear overall. The hat has faded to a more black color than blue.

Bow is intact as are the two beads, and I don't see any tears to the netting. The purse has some faint darkness to the velvet and a tiny black mark on the back. The stole has some thinning along the top edge and the satin is discolored. The hook looks like it was reattached at some point. Pearl necklace has some color loss to the pearl.

White gloves are good with no holes or tears. The blue shoes are for the #1 doll with holes in the bottom. The left shoe has a split in the strap.

Easter Parade Outfit: First off, the hat is a reproduction, rest of the outfit is original. The coat is pretty good with no holes or tears.

Both bows are attached to the pockets. It has the Barbie TM label on the inside. The most notable issue I see is it could use a pressing. The apple sheath is untagged and it has some wear overall. There is also a maker flaw to the graphics on the back of the skirt.

The black purse is very nice. Earrings and necklace show minor loss to the pearls.

The black OT #1 hole shoes are free of splits and the left is marked Japan. Roman Holiday: Compact/Puff are reproductions. Outfit is missing eyeglass case. The coat has the TM label, but it is missing the red lining. Dress is untagged and the belt is an early version for the smaller waist dolls.

Hat is original, but the headband is broken. Pearl drop necklace has some paint loss to the one side. Rest of the accessories show very little wear as seen in the photos.

The black OT #1 hole shoes have had a split repair. I tested the right on the doll and it didn't split open, the left I can't test because of the tube sticking out. I've taken a lot of photos to give you a better idea on the condition of all the items and I've tried to describe the best I could. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Please view all the pictures as I consider them part of the description.

I try to describe items to the best of my ability and most of time they come from previous owners, so I rarely know their history. TERMS OF SALE: All my items are from a smoke free home.
