Up for sale is an original, authentic vintage 1962 Mattel Ken Doll (#750). This early-issue doll features the painted brunette molded plastic hair. He is being sold exactly as shown in nude condition.
Body Markings:
Right Foot: Stamped "Japan" lengthwise on the bottom.
Right Butt Cheek: Clearly stamped "© 1960 by Mattel, Inc. Hawthorne, Calif. U.S.A." (The city text is partially faded/hard to read but visible).
Left Butt Cheek: Features a factory-stamped mold number "8".
Condition & Flaw Report:
Face Skin Tone: The vinyl on his face has slightly darkened with age, which is a common aging trait for vinyl dolls of this era. His face is a bit darker than his lighter torso.
Hands & Feet: Excellent vintage shape. All fingers and toes are fully present with no chew marks or missing digits.
Neck Split: There is a structural split on the front of the neck. It sits cleanly and is completely hidden when the doll is at rest. It is only visible if you explicitly push the head back (please see photos).
Hair Spot: There is a small, factory-light or slightly faded spot on the very front hairline that is not as dark as the rest of his molded hair.
Limbs & Torso: Overall good vintage condition with posable limbs and minor surface wear consistent with age.
Please review all photos carefully as they serve as the primary visual description of the doll's markings, skin tone variation, and condition. Ships quickly and safely.
