I have been on the hunt for 1959 Barbie doll as that was the year I was born by my great Aunt Ruth that bought it for me. I managed to keep it in pristine condition even though I had ripped all the heads and cut off the hair on my cousins dolls. Great Aunt Ruth took me to a toy store on Sherbrooke Street in Montreal and bought the brunette for me instead of the blonde. I had the doll, her outfit in the original box till my eldest was 2 1/2. I gave it to her thinking she was mature enough to take care of it. Within the hour I came in her room to see she had cut the hair, removed the head and destroyed the box. Holy shit is this history repeating itself ? And now 37 years later I am on the hunt for it.
Last week I was bidding for this very doll that slipped out of my hands to someone who outbid me for $1.00. Talk about bad luck. But the up side is that I won the Ken doll on another bid.
So here he is the Vintage 1961, Flocked Blonde Hair Ken doll. #750 Ken. Ken™, Pats. Pend.,(The blonde's hair has rubbed off except around the edges) ,©MCMLX by Mattel Inc Straight leg, Japan Foot. Barbie's Boyfriend. All that is missing now is the original box, the Cork Sandals and Shirt and yellow towel.
