Great rare car & hard to find. $50 photo photo

KEN HOT ROD SPORTS CAR 1963 IN BOX: Irwin Corporation, hot rod for Barbie, Ken & Midge. Hot rod is complete with all pieces in great condition, no breaks or repairs on anything, listed near mint due to small amount of wear on chrome pieces (this is normal with age...if you find one that is without wear to silver, it's probably been repainted). This is in original condition and very clean overall, no problems whatsoever. The original box is present, shows minor shelf wear on edges and top of box has some light discoloration at random. The cello window has been replaced with new acetate but the original cello is also here. I will include it if the buyer wants it but it does have some tears, holes and somewhat filmy or dirty. The inside of the box is in very nice condition with no worn graphics. Great piece! $225 photo photo photo photo photo photo photo photo

SUSY GOOSE FURNITURE

BARBIE OR MIDGE SUSY GOOSE FOUR POSTER BED AND HOPE CHEST PARTS 1963:
Hope Chest, yellowed on outside otherwise excellent with no flaws. $4 photo photo
Pink Pillow, plastic polka dotted hexagon pattern, mint condition $5 photo

BARBIE REGAL BED 1965 RAREST OF RARE FURNITURE PIECES EVER MADE BY SUSY GOOSE FOR BARBIE: 1965 Regal Bed, with only a few of these known in the world as of date. Advertised in 1965 as a bed fit for Sleeping Beauty, yes, for the ultimate Princess Barbie. The bed was designed to resemble a crown, trimmed with a twisted rope pattern and brushed with gold. The headboard and footboard are lined with gold metallic paper which is decorated with cream colored highly stylized flower and leaf designs, with tiny pale yellow speckles over the gold area, so elegant! The headboard, footboard and mattress are all near mint, no obvious flaws. The bedspread is plain red taffeta trimmed with white fringe and a matching pillow. The condition of the bedspread is excellent, shows some dark lines of discoloration on the top of the bedspread and a few water spots (tiny) near the bottom. These really don't show much at all. I have never tried to clean the bedspread just for fear it might become worse so left it in it's original state. There are two tiny staple holes near the top where the pillow was originally attached, matching two similar holes in the backside of the pillowcase. Old masking type tape holds the pillow case closed, foam pillow inside. There is old stretched out elastic sewn to the back of the bedspread which would have held it from slipping around on the mattress. I find the bedspread really doesn't slip around anyway and just tuck the elastic underneath when displayed. This piece has actually been displayed inside a plastic bag just to keep it as clean as possible while I owned it for the past 20 years. This is one of the crown jewels in the Barbie world and a great investment and addition for the advanced collector. $1200.00 photo photo photo photo photo photo photo photo

BARBIE CHILD SIZE HALLOWEEN COSTUME 1963: extremely rare child's Halloween costume shows Barbie in Queen of the Prom along with 5 other pink printed on outfits. The dress is blue fabric (like taffeta or acetate) with pink printed figures and pink bias trim at the neck and sleeve hems. There are tons of stars, swirling bands and Queen of the Prom head all done in glittering silver. There are no holes in the fabric but there are areas of darker discoloration on the back and front that looks like a slight problem with unstable dyes in the fabric as well as some small water dots if held in extreme bright light. These blend into the folds of the dress fairly well. Two original ribbon ties are on the back for closures. Measurements on this dress: waist 25 - 26 inches, bodice across chest 30 inches, from shoulder to waist 13 inches and length of skirt from waist to hem 22 inches. This is a very rare piece that the advanced collector will appreciate. $55 photo photo photo

BARBIE HEIRLOOM SERVICE PLAYSET NRFB: extremely rare from 1962. Includes: full set of gold silverware (plastic): six spoons, six knives, six forks, six soup spoons, 1 ladle, 1 butter knife, 1 cake server, 1 meat fork, 1 large serving spoon and two candleholders. There are a few pieces that have a little "tarnish" at random but overall these look mint. This set has been stored in the box for years as I purchased it this way many years ago so I am certain it has never been removed. The original cellophane display windows look perfect with only a small area loose on one edge. This piece is unglued around the box bottom window frame along the back hinged edge. It needs to be glued back in place. I'll let the new owner do it if they want to. You can see this clearly in photo number 2 where the cardboard shows through the bottom window, not a huge deal but will take some glue if it matters to the buyer. There is one small glued tear in the cardboard bottom window at the front edge.The box itself is in excellent condition considering the complexity of the design. There is wear on the edges, mainly on the flaps. Some of them are torn & need repair. This was a rather complicated little box so I had just left it as it was when I purchased it and displayed it the way it is. There was obviously some sort of tab on the front that would have served to keep the lid and bottom closed. It is missing. Note the photo showing this area. All in all, the box looks nice and this is a great piece that is very rare. $65 photo photo photo photo photo photo photo
