Help with unusual Vintage Painted Hair Ken Doll Box

(Rome, Italy)
Hi, first I want to say how much I love your site. I find it so beautiful and it helped me many times. I'm from Rome, Italy and I need your help to identify a Ken Box I purchased from England. I think it is a Painted Hair Ken Doll box, but it look so strange to me because there is no logo under the graphic of the Ken doll head. The paper covering the top of the box is identical to other boxes I have.
I attached some pics to explain better my questions: Is it a fake box? Is it an error box? or what? Please, help me if you can. Thank you and sorry for my bad English. Have a good day, Dino.
Hi Dino - Thanks for writing and your kind words about the site. It is a labor of love! Unfortunately, I do not know much at all about Ken boxes. I will put this up & hopefully someone will come by & be able to answer your question. My first thought was wondering if it might be a box from a reproduction Ken? Suzanne

Help with unusual Vintage Painted Hair Ken Doll Box
Thank you for answering me. I was afraid to get a fake box, even if the doll in is absolutely a real ken doll and also all the accessories with. So now I know to have a maybe rare piece in my collection. Thank you, thank you very much. Dino

I have seen this box many times before. It is an error box that escaped the factory. Apparently a "run" of many went through the inspectors that day! Enjoy it as another wonderful piece of Barbie history!!

I'm trying to understand This box. I purchased it in England, The box is really old, i can see it from the old paper and the smell. I already have got other correct boxes, even the repro and this is not a repro box (it have the logo). On the corner I can see all the copyrights fro Mattel and everything is the same of the other boxes. the only thing missing is the KEN logo. I don't know how to classify it.
Anyway thank you for answering me.

Hi, I'm stumped by your box, As far as I know, the original and repro boxes both have Ken's name in the circle. I'm wondering if you have an errored box and it would be interesting to know how many more people have one.
