Garage sale and estate sale finds

 Just this past week I went to an estate sale that had American Girl in the photos.  It was the second day and I just wanted to see what may still be there.   I find some great finds.  When I got home and started to look up some of them, I found that I miss a few items.  I have done this before.  I must remember that early American Girl does not have tagged on every item.  The new American Girl items are all tagged from the shoes to the headbands.  It was hard when I get home and find I left so much but it was not tagged and I did not remember it.

Ken ~ #0773 King Arthur

 I love Barbie Theatre and its costumes.  I have been working on completing my outfits.  I just got a lot of Barbies with many costumes and find some great treasures.  I had #0773 King Arthur costume but it was not complete.  My outfit was in good condition with an r tag.  The new outfit had a tm tag.  It also had tags on the shirt and vest and a paper tag in the hood.  I discovered that the cord for the belt and sword is different.





Below is a different version of the belt ribbon and sword ribbon.  The TM outfit ribbon is wider and has less detail.  The r. outfit ribbon is thin and more detail.


Here is what they look at next to each other.
