Beautiful vintage #4 Ponytail Barbie doll (brunette, 1960, TM body) dressed in her tagged Mattel “Sheath Sensation” #986 ensemble (1961-64) with accessories. Authentic early Ponytail #4 Barbie with TM-marked body and “Barbie®” script stamp. Brunette hair, blue eyeshadow, red lips. Retains most of her original red fingernail polish; no toenail polish as issued. Body is solid with no loose limbs. Shows light vintage wear: faint scuffs on calves, very tiny straight pin pricks in chest area (common on early dolls), and tiny factory ear starter holes. Face paint shows a trace of lipstick missing on upper lip, and eyelash paint could use touch-up if desired. Outfit details (all authentic Mattel). Tagged red Sheath Sensation dress (#986, 1961-64). Matching red vinyl clutch purse with faux pearl accent. Pearl necklace on wire strand (original Mattel accessory used in multiple early Barbie evening fashions). Shoes: Includes a pair of authentic 1960s Mattel red open-toe heels marked Japan. Note: The original Sheath Sensation set came with white heels – the red shoes included here are vintage Mattel but not the original shoes for this fashion. The doll and accessories are in very good vintage condition.
