History My grandmother (born in 1898) collected Barbie dolls in the 1960's. This doll is in excellent condition with original swimsuit, panties, ear rings, polish on her toes and hands and vibrant colors. She bends at the hips and shoulders as the legs and arms are straight and her red lipstick has turned white. She doesn't have any shoes. My grandmother made the red dress and added the red bow for an evening on the town.

This Barbie was given to me in 1994 and I kept her stored as well. She's looking for a new home. She was never played with but remained stored in a smoke free and pet free house.
