Up for sale is a highly prized piece of Mattel history:

an authentic vintage 1967 Twist 'n Turn Barbie Her lower back bears the authentic early-production stamp: © 1966 Mattel, Inc. / U.S. Patented / U.S. Pat. Pend. / Made in Japan.

This doll is being sold completely nude/naked without her original swimsuit.

Mechanical Functions: The iconic Twist 'n Turn waist operates smoothly, and the bendable legs function correctly, clicking and holding poses as they should. The vinyl body is structurally solid with no missing fingers or toes.

Face & Paint: Her original side-glancing blue eyes and classic pink lips are shown in the photos. She retains some of her original rooted vinyl eyelashes. (See photos)

Please note: There is a visible patch of surface grime/staining across her nose bridge and surrounding her right eye socket.

This island is vintage, it has scratches, scuff marks, staining, discoloration and Fading as shown in the photos.

I did not try to clean this item. This will require careful, patient cleaning by the buyer. Not sure if it will come out or not. Her hair is intact but unstyled, showing some natural vintage dryness and tangling at the ends.

Please thoroughly study all of the high-resolution close-up photos to verify the exact state of the vinyl body, hair fibers, and face staining before making your purchase.

Ships securely packed in a box to preserve her delicate vintage eyelashes and original vinyl composition.

Thank you for looking!!!
