Mattel Barbie 1973 Best Buy #3208 Hardback

Mattel Barbie 1973 Best Buy #3208 HardbackVery Good to Excellent Pantsuit (halter top attached to pants with attached purple 'suede' belt)

An absolutely darling outfit

Split in vinyl near front button (I think this part was supposed to be tucked inside the neck joint)

Markings on bottom "DAM"

1961 Early version

corner of base has small tear

A previous vendor's tag bled through and stained the inner yellow corner which is such a shame considering its condition

We suspect this is from people "testing to see if they are split" but the repeated applied pressure now beginning to split them

Articulated arms

) With no way to safely test these lips I can't say all original

Swimsuit: Original zebra stripe

Glenn Manderville's

Complete with hard to find slippers
