What's the number stand for that is stamped on left side of Barbie's bottom?

On my collection of Barbie dolls there is a number stamped on the left bottom side opposite the markings. They range from 7 to 12. Can you tell me what this means?

Hi Kathy -
That is a good question & I do not know the answer. Anyone know?

Stamped Numbers

That is the mold number. Various duplicate molds were used to form the plastic torsos, arms legs etc. Each mold hat it's own number. That way if a default was found in final molded parts the negligent mold could be found and taken out of production.

The numbers mean little to nothing for collectors wishing to identify bodies.

(Thanks John!)
