1966 Barbie TNT Made In Philippines

(Redmond, WA, USA)

My daughter has a twist and turn Barbie with the following markings on its tush: (c) Mattel, Inc./1966/Philipines/5

The 5 is on a line that is a couple of lines lower than the Philipines and positioned veritcally between the e and s in Phillipines.

She has blond hair with the hair line rising from left to right (facing the doll) to a peak near the temple. Both arms are bent and one leg. Neither the legs nor arms are moveable.

We would appreciate your help identifying this doll.

Thanks.

Hi Jeff -
Barbie Dolls were made in the Philippines between 1978 and 1988, so your doll would be from those years. She has the Superstar face. The number 5 doesn't have any meaning - they were mold numbers and every Barbie has random mold numbers on her bottom.
