Vintage Ooak #4 Rerooted Raven Black Haired Ponytail Barbie
This stunning VINTAGE OOAK #4 REROOTED RAVEN BLACK HAIRED PONYTAIL BARBIE WITH SOLID RUBBER BODY has been modified to enhance her beauty. The earlier #4 Barbies were marked with a TM and the later #4 Barbie’s were marked with an ®. I do know which marking she has as it has been rubbed off. Her body is made of rubber and not plastic as was standard beginning with #5 Barbies. Her makeup and nails have been retouched or repainted utilizing acrylic paint. Her hair has been rerooted, hard curled, styled and lightly sprayed to hold the curls. She has no chew marks, no nose nips, no head splits. Her arms/legs move as intended. She has some scrapes, scratches, staining & dents on her body as expected for a 60-year-old doll. She has a small amount of green around her earring holes and has not been treated for green ear. However her earrings hide it well. She has few black dots on her body and a couple of Nick’s on her left anterior lower leg. There are also some marks on her feet which I’m not sure if they are factory defects or they were made with rough child play. Her zebra swimsuit is of unknown age and may have fraying, runs, tears, fading, stains, torn seams, and torn hems. I did some repairs to the zebra swimsuit. Her pumps are new and have been modified by me to resemble the original mule shoes that came with her outfit. Stand is not included. I have been repairing & restoring Barbies for over 25 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 as my vision is not as good as it used to be. She comes from a smoke free home and would be an excellent addition to any collection! Please contact me if you have any questions and good luck.
