Barbie Doll Question - No T.M. or R after Barbie on bottom. It is a #2

Bottom of Barbie
Everything says it is a number two- according to your wonderful explanation of Barbies! See picture. This was my friends - she is only owner all her life, as you can see she chopped of hair, as she rather put wigs on Barbie! LOLOL - Has white eyes Arched brows etc, But this Marking on Bottoms eludes me? See picture but it reads...Barbie/ Pats Pend/@MCMLVIII/by/Mattel/Inc. AND other right cheek it has a 67.
Barbara says she got it when it first came out her sister got hers a couple months earlier, (that one is on its way to me) She cut her hair off too! Good Lord. Anyway I am going to sell them along with all there clothes But I just cant say for sure what this is because that marking. MANY MANY THANKS-
Hi Kim - If she has white irises & no holes in her feet, she would have to be a #2. All of the "Barbie only" (before Midge was added) had the same markings. I don't think I have seen one without the TM - but remember they were making toys not collectibles & there are many, many variations from the standard. Sounds like you got a winner! Suzanne

What I do about the hair? As I said it is all cut off? Will people still want to buy her? Thank you
Yes - depending how bad it is - if it can be disguised with a hat (one of the favorites in my collection is a #3 with a chopped off ponytail - she always wears hats!) - or if it is really bad she can be re-rooted by a restorationist.
