Vintage Barbie Bubble Cut Doll with Stand - 1960s Original Item

This is a vintage Bubble Cut Barbie, believed to be from the 1960s.
I purchased it as a vintage item at a specialty store about 25 years ago for a high price and have kept it carefully stored. This is an original item from the era, not a recent reproduction.
I am selling it to downsize my collection.

[Contents]
- Doll body (Bubble Cut)
- Swimsuit
- Stand, sandals

[Condition]
- Swimsuit: There is a tear due to age near the left thigh (see image).
- Body: Due to age-related changes in the material from that era, there is a difference in color tone between the torso and the limbs. This is a phenomenon unique to 1960s Barbies and is proof of its authenticity from that time.
There are signs of age and minor scuffs characteristic of vintage items.
- Facial features: The blush and lipstick are relatively well-preserved, maintaining a beautiful expression that retains its original look.
- Hairstyle: The characteristic volume of the bubble cut is maintained.
- Markings: To the best of my amateur inspection, I could not find a JAPAN marking on the soles of the feet or elsewhere.

This is a very old item, over 60 years old. I would be happy to pass it on to someone who understands the characteristics of vintage items and will cherish it.
Please check the condition carefully in the images, and if you have any concerns, please ask questions before purchasing.
