An exceptionally authentic early 1960s Mattel Bubblecut Barbie, representing one of the most elegant and historically significant eras of Barbie production. This heirloom-quality doll features the iconic sculpted bubblecut hairstyle and bears multiple highly sought-after original markings, confirming her early manufacture and collector desirability. (Patents Pending) stamp further places her within Mattel’s early patent-pending production period. The “Made in Japan” foot stamp confirms early overseas manufacturing, a hallmark of true vintage Barbies from this era. Her classic mid-century facial sculpt, refined expression, and original body proportions exemplify the craftsmanship and glamour of Barbie’s golden age. A rare and beautiful example suited for serious collectors, Barbie historians, or curated luxury displays.

This is one of the first Barbie Dolls to come out. Has MCMLVIII, 1958, patent pending on her bottom. Japan on the bottom of her feet. Has her original striped bathing suit, shoes, pearl earrings, sunglasses, stand and Barbie Teen-Age Fashion Model Booklet, Newsletter. I had experts confirm that she is a #3 Barbie. I have not attempted to clean or do anything to her. The earrings were left in and caused some green on her ear lobes. Her finger nail polish looks good but on her toenails it is worn badly. All of her joints move and I don’t see any cosmetic damage. It appears from what I can find that Barbie dolls with nipples are rare. I tried to make good pictures. Look at the pictures for judging condition. Ask if you have questions. I will answer or try to find the answer. VINTAGE RARE 1958, MCMLVIII BARBIE #3 BLONDE PONYTAIL-BLUE EYESHADOW MADE JAPAN.
