Up for auction is a gorgeous piece of Mattel Mod-era history! This listing features an authentic vintage Mod Twist 'n Turn (TNT) Barbie doll from the late 1967–1971 era. She features beautiful blue eyes, a classic Mod face paint screening, and long hair in a sought-after shade that appears to be "Summer Sand" (please verify exact tone via the provided photos).
PLEASE NOTE: While the doll itself is a classic vintage Mod TNT Barbie, she is NOT the actual "Kissing Barbie" doll. She has simply been beautifully redressed in the highly recognizable, original 1978 Kissing Barbie (#2597) romantic pink and purple floral print sheer chiffon gown. The outfit includes the sheer floral overdress, solid pink attached underskirt, a matching pink waist ribbon, and a matching hair bow.

Condition & Home Environment Disclosures (Please Read Carefully):

- Home Environment: This item comes from a smoking home. Please take this into consideration prior to bidding if you or someone in your household is highly sensitive to tobacco smoke odors.
