    Description

    Vintage Original Mattel Barbie Friend Midge Hadley Straight Leg Doll A/O Titian Red Head.  Hair appears uncut, clean and in original style.  She has freckles and excellent facial coloring.  She does have upper lashes that are painted.....they appear factory painted.  This is a puzzle.  I have researched to find Midge's with upper painted lashes and have failed to find another example.  This is how she came, with the current lot of vintage Barbie's I have up...no dolls have any pen or marker marks...no graffiti, no chews, so I can't imagine that this doll alone got painted upper lashes, that look factory done, and no other items have pen/marker marks!  I submit multiple photos of the doll, so you have to decide!
    She is in near mint condition (may be a stray spot or two)....limbs work as they should, polish on toes and fingers mostly complete.  Original outfit /swimsuit is in near mint condition as well.  Doll is marked: Midge TM 1962 Barbie 1958 Mattel Inc. Patented.  This dates her to 1964-1966. She comes with a brochure showing hers and Barbies clothes.
    Check out my other auctions over the next several weeks (all start Sunday evening and run for a week) as I found another load of vintage Barbie, Francie, Ken, Skipper stuff from the early to mid 1960's.  Lots of accessories coming - am trying to list as I sort and Identify.
    ALL HAVE BEEN STORED AND ALL ITEMS WILL HAVE WRINKLES, STRAY THREADS/HAIRS AND CONDITIONS WILL BE STATED IN EACH AUCTION...THESE WERE CHILDRENS TOYS AT ONE POINT BUT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN GENTLY PLAYED WITH.
    About me:  I am a long time doll & toy collector and periodically will sell part of my collection (in order to buy more of what may interest me at the time!).  I am not a company, just an old lady doll collector!  I try to be as accurate as possible and happily will answer any questions you have about an item but usually takes 12-24 hours to respond.  I will try to be at my computer when my auctions are ending to answer any late minute questions, but best to email me right away if its super important for you to know.  I ship via USPS.  My estimated shipping expenses are usually less than what it costs to ship, so please do not ask me to lower them after you bid!  I do combine shipping on multiple wins and my auctions end on Sunday evenings.  If you pay quick, I ship quick!  I will be listing a bunch of dolls and accessories over the next several weeks, so check back often!  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
