I have never seen a Barbie like this before. Please help me. She looks like Barbie, but very old. She has a (c)opyright symbol with M.I on her neck.She has another(c)opyright symbol 1956 Mattel Inc US Pat Pend on her butt and foot. She is wearing a brunette wig. She looks a little more pale than my 1961 Barbie. (and all of the other ones I have seen older than 1961) I have NEVER seen one with rocker eyes!! They open and close. I have not heard of a Barbie that was made with rocker eyes!

Hi Barbara -
Without a picture, I can't be sure, but is sounds like you have a Miss Barbie doll.
