DO NOT BID IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO PAY ..SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! If you need further information, don't hesitate to ask. You can email me thru ebay. This doll is not pristine but it's not a basket case. She is probably 65 to 75% of what she could be. I haven't cleaned her because I don't want to damage her. She will b...e a wonderful project doll. This doll is in good condition. She doesn't appear to have been restored. She is perfect for the non restored purest. She could use her skin cleaned as there is a light film of dirt on her body. There are no head or neck splits. She has the authentic butt stamp across her rear. Her hair still has some of the tight curls on the forehead and the back is braided. Appears to be original auburn blondish hair color. There were some Barbies done with a braid but not sure if this is factory done. Her hair looks shorter that the traditional ponytail but I'm not sure if that's because of the braid. She has the solid body with the crayon smell.She can use a bit more clean up but her limbs are solid and her hands aren't chewed. She has some discoloration on her skin, not blotchy but not uniform. The upper torso is darker and her legs are more creamy white. You can see the difference with the legs. Please review the pictures or ask me for other angles. Her shoulder has a couple of scratches. I took a pic of it. Nothing huge but wanted to mention them.Her face color is good with some light film of dirt and her eyes are really nice and very minimal wear on the "eyelashes". See pics.The paint on her nails looks original, a bit faded but nice.The outfit is either a Bild Lilli or a handmade piece that's well made and period authentic. It's a little gray poodle skirt and a white unitard underneath. There is a little moth hole on the white unitard.She comes with all you see in the pictures. **Please review all the pictures before bidding and please ask any questions you have..I am happy to help !**Shipping is $40 to cover insurance and shipping.As a reminder, there are no returns on this item as it a rare vintage piece and is being sold as is.I have been a seller for over 18 years and I assure you that I have the highest standards and will not jeopardize my seller status to sell anything but authentic merchandise and state any and all flaws to the best of my ability. I am not a Barbie collector but I know this is a rare find. If I wasn't so busy, I'd restore her myself.This is a real piece of history and hope you win this iconic beauty.
