Vintage Midge Barbie (American Girl OSS + Headband) w/bendable Legs. Bonus Shoes

Description

Up for auction or purchase is a Vintage Midge Barbie (American Girl OSS + Headband) w/bendable Legs and she comes with Bonus Shoes. This is an original and beautiful Midge doll by Mattel, commonly referred to as Barbie's bestie. She is considered stock number 1080. She is also referred to as a lifelike bendable leg doll but she does not twist and turn. I am not sure if she is ash blonde or light brown. She is quite lovely. Her lipstick has faded to a light pink color. I love her unique bathing suit. It is rare for sure because all the other Barbie wear red or black and white. I’m not sure if she has Ash Blonde hair but it is not brown or brunette. It’s a very pretty color. This doll is as luscious as the American girl ponytail Barbie. She just has freckles. Her butt is marked 1958 Mattel, Inc US Patented in US Patent Pend. on the right side. I can’t see the marking on the left side. I really think she is the first of her kind though. As you can see from her original swim suit, it is Mattel with a trademark (TM). There is no green ear, green hair, neck split, earring hole or face pricks that I can see and we purchased the doll and are the original owners.
Flaws: I think she has minor missing plugs of hair but it’s thick and soft with a midge shine. Her legs clicks three times and holds. Tight arms and legs. She didn’t get a whole lot of play time. Good luck.
