BARBIE MERCEDES BENZ CONVERTIBLE 1964: Irwin Corporation, overall near mint car, turquoise blue with orange seats, clear plastic windshield (one crack in it), chrome steering wheel (worn off so now looks like brown grain leather), white wall tires and painted chrome grill and headlights. Great rare car & hard to find. $50 photo photo

BARBIE SPORTS PLANE 1964: Irwin Corporation very rare airplane made for Barbie. Fabulous plane features a snap on nose cone, "chrome trim pieces", rotating propeller, lightening designs on the wing tips, triple exhaust pipes, radio, antenna, dual steering controls, fold up landing gear, cockpit seat, identification numbers (pointed tip partially missing off both "n's), windshield (some light scratches at random). Chrome pieces show moderate wear from age. Body of plane and seats look excellent overall showing very little wear. There is a crack in the underside of the turquoise body of the plane where the wings fit in the slots, shown in one close up photo. It's possible this could be glued. I had this plane suspended from the ceiling in my Barbie room with clear fishing line and the crack in the bottom really didn't show plus never got any worse. It was this way when I bought it back in the 1980's. It's a fantastic piece for putting Barbie in American Airlines outfit and Ken in Airlines Captain outfits. This piece is very rare and hard to find in undamaged condition. This one is as nice as I've seen. $450 photo photo photo photo photo photo photo 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

Hope chest, yellowed on outside otherwise excellent with no flaws. $4 photo 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

Matching pillow sham measures 25" x 31". Overall condition is excellent, no tears or stains on both pieces. This was photographed on a full size bed (sorry that is the smallest we have to photograph the bedspread on) so it doesn't fit correctly but you can see what the overall design looks like & would look fabulous on a twin bed. It reminds me of the Sleep n Keep Case for Barbie that is all pink gingham check inside! Very VERY rare early item, so hard to find. $95 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. $75 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. $75 photo photo photo photo photo photo photo

There are a few other random melts in this molded area and a couple of small cracks in the clothing areas as well (these barely show). Both blue plastic doors are in place as should be and both clothing pockets look great with original snap closures. The vinyl pockets have small tears where they attach to the inside of the case, but not very noticeable. Nice case with tons of storage. $14 photo photo photo

1966 FRANCIE & CASEY DOUBLE DOLL CASE: white shiny case with bright bold mod graphics showing Francie and Casey on the front. The outside of the case is excellent, very little wear on the graphics with just a few scratches, some light discoloration at random, corners of hinged edge have splits (1/4" - 1"), back bottom edge has some vinyl missing from just near the bottom edge about 2 inches long, otherwise vinyl is in excellent condition overall. The inside looks nice. One clothing pocket is missing a snap and the vinyl between the two and along the left pocket edge is split about 1 inch. There is a split in the little flap along the bottom of the case on the inside, about 5 - 6" but this is hardly noticeable. The cardboard closet has a tear in the cardboard at the center top area. Both original doll bands are there. This case holds a lot of clothes! $5 photo photo
