Rare HTF Vintage Japan Japanese Market Barbie Booklet Ephemera Early 60s w/ Kimono! It features photographs of 15 early Barbie outfits with all of their accessories, including a rare kimono outfit. All of the writing is in Japanese, except for a few English phrases, like Barbie Teenage Fashion Model , and Seventeen Look. By number, the outfits featured are: 963; 982; 901; 981; 964; 983; 977; 967; 976; 986; 975; 991; 850; 962, and Barbie is wearing Evening Splendor on the cover. The booklet measures 5″ by 7 1/4″ when folded, and opens up to 10″ by 14 3/8″. This is a very early, and very rare Barbie booklet, and a must-have for the Japanese Barbie collector! Condition: This booklet is in good vintage condition for its age. There is no writing of any kind. Please examine photos carefully for condition, and please note the following flaws: There is a small 3/8 tear on the right edge of the booklet as seen best on the cover in the orange line going down the right side. There are two tiny tears at the edges of the folds only seen when the booklet is open. There are about four pin holes, probably from thumbtacks that are multiplied when you open the booklet. There are some creases that you can see the various photos, there may be able to be fixed. There are some orange-hued stains on the front cover that I tried to show in close up, and there are some black stains on the back cover that I also show in close-up. These stains look worse in the photos than in person, to be honest. The stains may even be able to be partially cleaned off, I have not tried to clean this in any way as it is just paper, and would need a knowledgeable person to tackle that. The booklet is still very nice, very desirable, and very rare! I have tried to point out all flaws to the best of my ability. These booklets rarely come to market.
