Need Help Identifying Two NICE Barbie Dolls sent to me

My mother-in-law sent my 9 year old two vintage Barbie dolls and I am hesitant to let her play with them - they are in PERFECT condition and very pretty (they remind me of the Barbies from when I was a girl). They have 1966 marked on the back them...the clothes are still sewn closed or have small bands keeping everything in place so getting to those markings was not easy!

Hi JoLynne -
Your dolls are from 1999 - The City Seasons Series. The brunette is is "Spring in Toyko" and the blonde is "Winter in New York". You can see the series here on eBay.

Almost all Barbie dolls made since 1966 have that date on them, that is when the Twist 'n Turn waist was patented.

I have always loved this series! They are gorgeous!
