1960s Mattel Skipper doll, Barbie’s beloved little sister, marked “SKIPPER © 1963 Mattel Inc. Japan” on her body. She has her original strawberry blonde hair and vivid blue eyes. Skipper is wearing a charming blue and white floral cotton dress with navy ric-rac trim and matching bonnet — a delightful example of her mid-century fashion. The doll’s body is the early straight-leg type and all limbs intact. Face a little darker than body. Light age wear and hair play as shown, but overall she displays beautifully with her original outfit. The ensemble includes both dress and matching bonnet, with snaps functioning well. Light age discoloration.
