Vintage Mattel 1964 1060 MISS BARBIE Doll Sleep Eyed - Head & Wig RARE
Item History & Price
From a treasured private collection is a very rare Vintage/Antique Barbie collectible. This auction is for the 1964 Miss Barbie #1060 Head and Red molded wig. The doll body and original clothing is not included.
The Miss Barbie doll was introduced in 1964 and was rare for the time as she was the first doll with bendable knees and the only doll with eyes that would open and close. She had a molded head with an orange band and 3 wigs on a wig stand. The back of the head is... marked “ Copyright M.I.” The original torso was marked 1958 Mattel. Her head is easily identifiable by the marks on the upper side of her forehead which are melted plastic due to the wigs being left on too long.
The Miss Barbie doll is considered highly collectible as she was only available for one year. At the time, her movable eyes were considered scary and the doll was removed from the market.
Condition:Very good vintage/antique condition. Eyes open and shut easily with no sticking. Color and condition of eyes is excellent. There appears to be a small crack behind each ear. Not sure if this is a defect or the way the head was made. Face is in beautiful condition with exception of forehead marks from wig. Some fading of molded hair color. No orange head band. Red wig is in excellent condition. Comes from a smoke free and pet free home.
Payment:Payment is via PayPal and is due 48 hours following end of auction.
