Montgomer Ward 1972 re issue Barbie Ponytail

 

While looking up some Barbie research I found this on Ruby Lane.  She is something that I really would like to have. It would be an excellent idea for a blog.  There are many blogs on this doll.  Most have 2 versions of the doll a store version and a catalog version.  The store version has nail polish and the catalog does not.  Both come with wrist tags.  Her skin is a little tan.  She does not have the pin curler bangs.  There is no note of having sunglasses or earrings.  You also do not see holes in her ears. Her skin tone is a little darker.

Barbie Reproduction: Gold n' Glamour

Comes with a blonde bendable leg doll.
 marks are Barbie r. c. 1958, 1993 Mattel Inc. China

Come with a doll, dress, jacket, hat, brown gloves, brown closed-toe shoes, gold purse, and pearl necklace.

The difference is the fur.  In the reproduction, the fur is light brown and the vintage is dark brown.   The zipper is white in the reproduction and not a ykk zipper.  The jacket is tagged with a Barbie Collectable label.  The gloves are sewing just like the old one just not as good.  The purse is soft plastic and sew on the outside whereas the vintage is sewing on the inside.  The necklace has a new clasp.

The vintage is made of a Tweed Chiffon and the reproduction is made
