This stunning VINTAGE OOAK #4 RAVEN BLACK HAIRED PONYTAIL BARBIE WITH A 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 ®. Her body is made of rubber and not plastic as was standard beginning with #5 Barbies. I do not know if her body is a TM or an ® as it has rubbed off. Her makeup and nails have been retouched or repainted utilizing acrylic paint. Her bangs are original and her ponytail is a partial reroot. Her hair has been hard curled, styled and lightly sprayed to hold the curls. She has no chew marks, no nose nips, no head splits, no pinpricks. Her arms/legs move as intended. She has some scrapes, scratches, staining & dents on her body as expected for a 60-year-old doll. There is a nick on her left buttocks. She has a small amount of green ear which has been treated but some discoloration remains. She has the usual dents in her upper legs which occurs during manufacturing when attaching the legs to the torso. 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.
