HAND-PAINTED BLONDE #1 BARBIE, Vintage '59. All Original! No repaints. Authentic. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
Here is your chance to own a piece of Barbie doll history. In fact, this could very well be the very 1st Barbie ever made. That is because this is very first version of the hand painted number one Barbie. There was even a Barbie bizarre article describing the different hand painted versions and this is the 1st version. This came with the lightnin...g bolt eyebrows and they inverted B eyes. There is just something artistic and nostalgic about this dolls face that would make a true vintage Barbie collector get teary. I am proof.The face paint is all original. Even authenticated at the last Barbie convention by several seasoned collectors. I have sold a hand painted #2 before and do own a stencil #1, so I am knowledgable enough to know she is the real deal and can represent her as such. Hair is very long with no cuts or missing hair plugs. No green ears. No neck splits and no repaired neck knob. Limbs are super tight with all finds and toes present with polish. Both original tubes present under the feet and fit perfectly on the original #1 Barbie stand. Body is evenly faded and not blotchy. Face is still rather pink. Ponytail was reset and bangs left as found. Only flaws I can find are a chip at the bottom of the stand and a repaired box split corner. Rare to find a #1, rarer to find a hand painted #1, even more rare to find the first version of the hand painted #1. I am pleased to send more pictures and answer any questions you may have. Shipped Priority Mail with insurance, tracking and signature required. International goes through the Global Shipping Program unless you message me and we update the shipping directly. Thank you! :-)
