Ken doll ID Question

by Mary
(OHIO)

I just got a blonde painted hair ken doll and wonder about the markings on his backside.

I also have my own brown hair Ken doll from the 60's and the markings/id are not the same as on the blonde one.

Blonde: NO cursive "Ken"
copyright 1960
by Mattel
Hawthorn, Calif.
USA

What year is this from?
How are reproduction Kens marked?
Are there reproductions of the painted hair Ken dolls?

Thanks.


Hi Mary - please see - Ken doll with painted hair - it looks like you have a "shortie" Ken.
