Vintage 2 Ponytail Barbie With Retouched Facial Paint

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS VERY LOVELY #2 BLONDE PONYTAIL BARBIE WITH A FULL FACIAL REPAINT.I AM NOT SURE HOW TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY THIS DOLL. SHE WAS SOLD TO ME AS AN "ORIGINAL" #2 PONYTAIL. WHEN I RECEIVED HER, I DISCOVERED SHE HAD A FACIAL REPAINT. IT IS VERY WELL DONE AND LOOKS VERY CLOSE TO MY OTHER 2s.I SHOWED HER TO TWO RESPECTED VINTAGE COLLEAGUES ON EBAY. ONE FELT SHE WAS A #3 REPAINTED TO LOOK LIKE A #2. THE OTHER RESTORATION ARTIST SAID SHE COULD NOT BE SURE IF IT WAS A... 2 OR A 3. I WANTED TO PUT ALL THE FACTS BEFORE YOU SO YOU WOULD KNOW THAT HER PROVENANCE IS IN QUESTION. I WILL PRICE HER ACCORDINGLY.I INCLUDED AMONG THE PICTURES ON THIS LISTING ONE THAT SHOWS A PONYTAIL THAT WAS ORIGINALLY A #3 REPAINTED TO LOOK LIKE A #2 ON THE LEFT SIDE; ON THE RIGHT IS THIS DOLL WITH A MUCH PALER BODY. THE DIFFERENCES ARE SIGNIFICANT BUT NOT CONCLUSIVE.SHE HAS GORGEOUS HAIR - LONG AND FULL WITH LOTS OF CURLS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PONYTAIL WHICH LIKELY ARE NOT ORIGINAL CURLS. SHE HAS FABULOUS TWO ROWS OF TINY SOFT CURLS IN HER BANGS.SHE COMES ON A SOLID BARBIE TM BODY.SHE HAS SOME FLAWS:--A FEW DARK REDDISH BROWN STAINS ON HER BACK, ON BACK OF RIGHT ARM, TWO SPOTS ON HER LEFT THIGH, AND SOME SMUDGES AROUND THE ARM STAIN. NONE OF THESE JEOPARDIZE THE DOLL'S ABILITY TO STAND ON DISPLAY OR HOLD A SOLID POSE WITH HER ARM OR LEG.--A BIT OF A LIP BLEED (PALE YELLOW LINE AROUND HER LIPS) WHICH COULD HAPPEN WHETHER OR NOT SHE IS A 2 OR A 3 WITH FRESH LIP PAINT.--A TEENY DOT OF GREEN AT ONE EAR AND A DARKER SPOT AT THE OTHER. BOTH FULLY COVERED BY HER SAFE PEARL EARRINGS.PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU WANT FURTHER PICTURES. I WILL CONSIDER ALL REASONABLE OFFERS. SHE WILL TRAVEL TO YOU IN HER VINTAGE ZEBRA SWIMSUIT, NO BOX. (THE BOX IN THE PICTURES IS NOT AN ORIGINAL VINTAGE BOX.)
