    Description

    This gorgeous 1960s Vintage
    MUTE
    Talking Brunette nape curl Barbie has been cleaned & restored. Her hair is all original & has been restyled & hard curled. Her arms/legs move as intended & are not swingy. Her knees click 3 times & hold 2 times. She has no green ear, no head splits. Her blush has been retouched but the remainder of her face paint appears original. She has a few superficial scrapes, scratches, stains & superficial dents on her body as expected for a 50 year old doll.
    PLEASE
    NOTE:
    As I am not the original owner, I do not know her history. Her eyelashes have been replaced. There is a gap between her legs & torso but her legs are stable & tight. Her hip & shoulder joints have been repaired (utilizing vinyl screws) as the hip & shoulder joints on talking Barbies are very fragile & frequently the arms & legs broke off. Although repaired, her arms & legs remain fragile. Her arms have faded with age, her legs differ slightly in coloration. There is a small tear on her anterior thigh next to the torso & a couple of small dents on her breasts. Her talking pull string does not pull out & she is mute. There may be a very small hole above &/or below her knees &/or on her posterior upper thighs which is related to the joint mechanism.
    Her swimsuit is of unknown age & may have fraying, missing or worn out elastic, snags, tears, torn seams, torn material, missing button loops, missing buttons, stains, splits, discoloration, loose threads or fading. She was no doubt purchased as a toy and played with by children.
    She was no doubt purchased as a toy and played with by children. She is not for the collector looking to purchase a doll in mint condition.
    Stand not included.
    I have been repairing & restoring Barbies & her friends for over 20 years & spend many hours on each Barbie. I do my best to describe all flaws & repairs, but may have missed something so please examine the pictures closely and ask questions. Customer satisfaction is very important to me.
    She comes from a smoke free home and would be a excellent addition to any collection!
    I combine shipping and ship internationally. Please contact me if you have any questions and good luck.
