Collect Old Barbie Dolls – a hobby and Investment
Barbie is fifty years old in 2009. I wish we all well looked after half a century! Oh yes she has a lot of plastic surgery over the years.
The first Barbie was made by Mattel in 1959 and since then millions have been sold worldwide. Her official birthday is March 9, 1959 when she was exhibited at the New York Toy Fair. She was dressed in a black and white zebra striped one piece bathing suit, open toe shoes with high heels, earrings and white sunglasses with blue lenses. She has blonde or brunette hair in a ponytail at the back. She has white irises and very arched eyebrows. The plastic tended to fade and is mostly white now. She has holes in her feet for mounting on a pedestal and copper tubing in the legs. She is marked JAPAN on the bottom of her right foot. On the back she noticed Barbie TM Pats. Pend. Copyright MCMVIII. Find one of these in good shape and you have a dream collector that they pay a lot of money. The exact value depends on condition and completeness. Damage or missing components will downgrade your pop seriously. She is known as the # 1 Barbie ponytail.
The Ponytail Barbie # 2 is identical to # 1, except that there are no holes in her feet and no copper. The base is made with extensions to keep her. She characterized the same as # 1.
The # 3 Ponytail Barbie is identical to # 2 with the exception of blue irises and several eyebrows. This Barbie has blue or brown eyeliner.
The # 4 Ponytail Barbie is made of a plastic fading and retains its original color of the meat. She put up with blue eyeliner.
The # 5 Ponytail Barbie has a hollow plastic casing instead of the massive body of the previous editions. The markings are similar, but she is now marked R Pats. Pend. rather than TM Pats. Pend. A new hair color was introduced known as Titian and dolls with this color hair are rare and valuable than the blonde or brunette. There was a problem with the plastic in some of these dolls that gives them a greasy appearance. If you find one with The original matte face is worth more than a "greasy" doll face.
The # 6 Ponytail Barbie has one other vinyl not become greasy with time. Her fingernails and lips are a pink-red instead of the previous bright red. She is dressed in a red swimsuit and red open toed shoes.
The # 7 Barbie was made in different colors, including ash blonde hair, lemon blonde, brunette and Titian. Her fingernails and lips are orange-red (coral). This transition occurred in the period 1962-1963 and the brand was changed to Midge TM copyright 1962/Barbie Copyright 1958 by Mattel. The dolls with this new brand will be designated as the # 7 Barbie usual, but some still call them # 6. Dolls produced in 1962 before the transition are scarce and more valuable than the new edition.
In valuing collectible Barbie dolls condition the all important factor. A doll that is complete, undamaged and clean will get a premium price. If the doll is mint in the original packaging is highly desirable to collectors and will be priced accordingly. Dolls that have been restored or repainted are worth less than in the original faded condition.
Where do you buy old collectible Barbie dolls? Well just about anywhere if you know what to look for. Most people are totally unaware of what an old Barbie doll looks as if it could be worth a lot of money. You can occasionally find them by searching garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores or second hand. Take your magnifying glass along when you find treasure, so you can read the markings on the dolls go. Good luck.

Japanese ritual for contacting the dead with a doll, red string, and rice?
Some people call this ritual One-Man Hide and Seek, and I want to know more about it. I can only find a few websites and blogs that even mention. If anyone knows about this ritual (or tried it yourself), you tell me!
