THIS LISTING is for a WONDERFUL VINTAGE BARBIE #5 BLONDE PONYTAIL FROM 1961. PLEASE VIEW PHOTOS AND READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW. Feel free to ASK QUESTIONS! THIS BEAUTIFUL #5 has CURLY BANGS AND TOP KNOT PONYTAIL WITH ORIGINAL BAND and original bottom band and hard curl! There are a few fly away hairs but shis not missing any hair plugs. It is rare to see these dolls with the original hard curl and original band. Her scalp is slightly oily/greasy as is her face, which is a true sign of a #5 Barbie ponytail. Her makeup is all original (no touch ups) and she has most of her ORIGINAL red FINGERNAIL AND red TOENAIL POLISH. One brow has a slight rub (common with the greasy face dolls), but otherwise her makeup is very nice. SHE HAS ONE EARRING HOLE on her left ear, one earring hole on her right ear, and one tiny pin prick on her right ear. She has NO GREEN EAR EVER! , no neck splits, nose nips, etc. It’s so hard to find a #5 without green ear! All joints are tight and hold a pose with no issues. Her legs could use some cleaning, but overall she is in very good condition for a doll that’s 63 years old! The markings on her behind read Barbie R/Pats. Which are the correct markings for a #5. Also included ARE her original box THAT has the “blonde ponytail” sticker ON THE END TAB, black and white swimsuit, ORIGINAL black WIRE STAND, original black OPEN-TOE “JAPAN” SHOES, WHITE SUNGLASSES and pink barbie & Ken booklet. As shown in the photos, two corners of the top of the box have splits and are taped. There is some ink scribble on the top of the box, and on the end tab, written in black marker, is what appears to be the name of the original owner “ann smith” (I think)! This BARBIE will make an excellent addition to any collection! Please see my other vintage nrfb/mib dolls, clothing and accessories.
