(New Hampshire)

Have a brunette Barbie says Midge Barbie 1962 Mattel on right side of rear( I think it also says TM but hard to read) on left side of rear the number 12 right arm has 443NN left arm SO SN Japan on bottom foot This Barbie was mine growing up as a child lost a black case in a move black with pink inside seems i can not find it in my search. Can you tell me what type of Barbie I have and if there may be a case out there I can find to replace the one that was thrown out by mistake. The case had a place to put your name in front outside black pink inside case. Barbie in excellent condition blue eyes with a white speck in the blue eyelids black with a light blue thin eye shadow
Thanks

Your lovely doll & her markings
by: Suz

The year on barbies rears & backs indicates the year for that type of body style- not the year the doll was made necessarily, for example the year 1966 is common to see on several barbies from all through the late 60's, 70's, and 80's,(I think 90's also) as they used that body style for many years. It is so confusing that they did that, and most people don't realize it until (like I did)they do some research on it. I discovered this when I was looking through my old assortment of 1980's dolls that I know were not from 1966 since I picked them out brand new at the store as a child!
And as far as your doll goes, the person is correct, I can tell right away by the hairline, the way it dips down on her forehead (with no bangs)you can see how it is meant to "swoop" up to the side and then up into her cute ponytail, and by the details of her face. You should be proud to have her, the swirl ponytail is a very glamorous doll, I really wish I had one! Hope that helps, take care.

Round Barbie case

I've had a round Barbie case since 1960 or thereabouts and have never seen another round Barbie case--only the standard rectangular. Are the round cases that rare?
