This site was founded in 1996 and is maintained by Denise Davidson. Welcome to all!
The search for variations and rarities never ends with Barbie collecting. Therefore I continue to buy collections & upgrade examples of my own constantly. This creates a large overflow of duplicates which you may view on my SALES LIST.

I hope you will find this web site informative as well as fun. I have included an identification guide for the more commonly found dolls for those of you trying to identify your dolls. Collectors, be sure to check my Fun Reading section for must have reference books.
There is also an image gallery including 1400 and 1800 series fashions for Barbie. Many of these outfits are available on the sales list as duplicates are acquired.
Other links under the contents heading include Barbies History and Family Tree.
GUIDELINES FOR VALUES ON COLLECTIONS: Please do not call for pricing or identification on vintage or newer Barbie collectibles. I do not give price values over the phone. I have provided an ID GUIDE below to help you determine who you have. Make comparisons and match your doll to the photos shown in the guide.
I am not buying any Newer Barbie items (those made after 1980), and do not keep up on pricing for those items, so please check on the internet for current values. If you are not able to identify your vintage items by use of our guides:
You may send me a detailed list and or photographs: by email, regular mail (SASE required for reply). I am only able to determine WHAT you have, not values. I must physically inspect items to determine values.
You may send photographs: clear color photos please, by regular mail or through email. Photos will be returned upon your request accompanied by adequate postage and return envelope. You may also email photos, but please limit these, so as not to create large files for downloading. These need to be sent in JPEG format.

***** Barbie debuts on Nash Bridges March 2001
I
hope some of you may have been able to see the episode of Nash
Bridges that aired on March 30, 2001. It included the following
Barbie, car and box shown below. It was only a few seconds of fame
for the vinyl goddess and her car, nevertheless lots of fun! Included
was a beautiful mint in box platinum blonde Bubble Cut Barbie, along
with the loan of my personal mint in box Austin Healey, Barbie’s
first car. The props department revised my box a little, with the use
of some special made “Barbie” packaging tape. I have
shown it here in the photos along with a couple of photos of Cheech,
holding Barbie in the car. It appears he is trying to blow her a
kiss.
