I believe that I have a ponytail #5 Barbie. The earrings were left in and left green markings around the ears as the metal corroded. Would there be any way to get rid of the markings that are left? The color has gone right into the doll.

Hi Peggy -
Treating a Vintage Barbie Doll for "green ear" can be a long slow process and if it is severe, it may never all clear up. Here is an excellent article on eBay about one method to remove the green without destroying the doll in the process.
There is also a product made especially for dolls called Remove-Zit - I have used it in the past with great success - here is a review on eBay - Remove-Zit. Here is the link to the company's website - Remove-Zit.

Have others used this method? Have you found something that works better?
