FA: Wedding Barbie Doll, Midge, Brown Hair, c. 1962

Wedding Barbie Doll, Midge, Brown Hair, c. 1962

This 1962 Mattel Barbie Doll is Midge in formal wedding dress. Please refer
to the pictures for greater detail. The doll has fixed blue painted eyes and
black painted eyebrows. The lips, fingernails, and toenails are painted red
(all original and not touched-up). The doll has brown hair, and moveable
head, legs, and arms. The back of the doll is marked, (Midge, 1962, Barbie
1958 by Mattel, Inc., Patented) on the right cheek of her butt and (10) on
the left cheek. The bottom of her foot is marked (Japan). The doll is
complete with lace undergarment, white silk wedding gown, lace head veil,
pearl earrings and necklace, and white wedding shoes. She is also holding a
flower bouquet. This doll is original and not messed with. I bought this
from a friend who had it as a child and is at the point of wanting to do
some cleaning out of her childhood toys.
Now for the unfortunate news. The doll would be in near mint/mint condition
if it were not for the metal oxidation stains (green) on each side of her
head due to the metal posts of the earrings (see pictures). I have not tried
to clean the head of this because I did not want to do any damage, but any
serious collector of these dolls may know how to clean this. Other than the
stain, there is absolutely no other damage. All moveable parts work
properly, there are no stains or rips to the dress or lace, and no
damage/broken straps to the shoes. I feel that the reserve set for this is
very reasonable. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any additional
questions.
