1963 Barbie Doll Ponytail Blonde #7 Red Swimsuit #850

Barbie released the Ponytail Barbie line from 1959 to 1964. Presented is a stunning 1960s vintage #7 blonde ponytail Barbie doll.  She is wearing the classic red bathing suit and has matching shoes. The doll does not have earrings or a stand.

A No. 7—sometimes referred to a late No. 6—has a different body than a No. 6, it also came out in 1964 and the word “patented” as added to the marking. Quite simply, if the markings say “Midge” but not “patented,” you have a No. 6, but if it says both, you have a No. 7. Here’s the markings on this one which indicate it is a #7.
