Vintage BARBIE Original #5, Blonde Ponytail Doll Japan One Owner LOT

Barbie #5 came in tan vinyl, as was started with #4. She has softer facial features than previous versions.

Barbie #5 was the first year of the hollow body rather than a solid vinyl body. Also added to #5 was a small neck knob to allow her to turn her head. Finally,'Barbie' was added to the Mattel hallmark on her backside.

She has only had one owner who bought her brand new. She was stored exceptionally well for many years and has never been altered in any way. Barbie is wearing her original Zebra one-piece swim suit. All from the same era and from Barbie's original owner. She is in great condition.

Nail polish on fingers & toes is in very good condition although faded in a few spots. No green on her ears as you can see. Her hair is in its original pony and amazing shape! Her face is in beautiful condition with the exception of a couple areas that rubbed off & need touching up. Rare to find this exact Barbie in such an exceptional condition!

This is a stunning vintage Barbie doll, standing at 11.25" tall and 3" wide. The doll has blonde ponytail hair and blue eyes, and is dressed in a vintage white bathing suit with her matching sunglasses and heels. Orange coat is not included in the lot.

This Barbie doll is an original, signed by Mattel and featuring an embossed Barbie logo. It is part of the #5 Barbie series and was manufactured in Japan in the 1950s. This stunning original would be a beautiful addition for any collector. Please read the full description and see all pictures.

The Barbie in the photos is the exact doll you will receive. The collage photo I made shows everything included in this lot. If you have any questions or would like additional photos, please let me know.
