Some of her hair has been trimmed below the bottom band. Her body has faded with age and she has faded quite evenly. Her feet do not have the typical staining from wearing shoes for many years, they are very nice. Her foot is marked "Japan" and her bottom has the Barbie logo, Pats Pending, MCMLVIII, by Mattel Inc. The copper rod is sticking out of her left foot.
She has various scratches and mold marks that are typical for the early Barbie dolls. Limbs are tight and neck nob is good and sturdy. Your rings are reproductions and should be removed for long-term storage. She is a lovely display doll and will make some Barbie collector very happy! She is not mint and she has some flaws, however she is very pretty.
