No noticeable scratches or stains. Boxes are soiled, damaged, and have some tears. The hat badge embroidery “SHELL”? “SHEL” will be an error product. (See the second photo). 3 SHELL Shell LEE JAPAN MIKE COMPANY Buddy Lee doll. The clothes and hat have no stains and are in very good condition. Since the clothes are in good condition, we did not check the condition of the doll by removing the clothes. The elastic of the bow tie around the neck seems to have stretched over time. The white metal base has black marks from shoes hitting it. The box is dirty, damaged, and has some tears. International Buyers – Please Note.

Vintage FACTORY ERROR Rare Barbie Head / Midge Body by Mattel 1960s Japan. This Vintage doll is very rare because she is a factory error. The rump clearly labels her as Midge, even though she has Barbie’s head. The head is still firmly. Attached so it has not been broken off and then replaced. He body is from a Straight-Leg Midge doll and t. He head is from a. Bendable Leg Barbie a. Both dolls were distributed in the mid-1960s, so this doll is from somewhere in that time. Please see the last photo for a graphic I created that details the differences between the dolls for a better understanding of what makes this doll an error. The doll is in excellent condition for being over 50 years old. Her hair is a little messy but likely able to be styled, and she still has most of her red nail polish on her fingers and toes. She comes with a swimsuit or leotard that appears vintage but I do not know when it is from.
