Her body is extremely nice, her neck knob is tight and secure. She has the early body with "Japan" stamped in a small box on the bottom of her foot instead of the later, larger "Japan" written along the bottom of the foot. Her finger and toenail paint is complete. She is a near mint doll; extremely nice.
Also included are the original swimsuit, sunglasses, shoes, and #2 stand. Very few number 2 stands were made from the two-pronged #1 pedestal base. Mattel had some #1 bases leftover when they changed the feet on the #1 Ponytail doll and made the #2 doll with the same face but no holes in her feet. This base is extremely rare, but does have chips along the bottom edge.I noticed that if it is placed on something black, you don't see the chips; they seem to disappear. This beauty is one of the ultimate Barbie collector dolls. The item "1959 VINTAGE ORIGINAL #2 BRUNETTE PONYTAIL BARBIE DOLL, EXCELLENT CONDITION" is in sale since Sunday, November 28, 2021.
