Barbie JCPenney 64 piece Exclusive Accessories

 The best thing about vintage Barbie is she had lots of clothes and accessories. There were many items that were exclusive to stores. This accessory set comes from JCPenney. It was 64 pieces set that come with a hat box, umbrella, nylon, hangers (13), and 24 pairs of shoes.

• shoes (count as 2 pieces)
  • boot: riding - red tall

I believe that the list of shoes is correct. But Mattel used to exchange shoes for different if they were out. I would love to see a NRFB set. If you have one could you, please add it to the comment for everyone to see.

There were also exclusive for Sear and Wards. Some of the same pieces. Some pieces are mistaken for the other sets. The catalog pages can help us know what really went with each set.

Sear Excluvise Tammy outfits

 When Ideal came out with Glamour Misty Sear made some exclusive outfits for her.  Three outfits were in the Tammy line of clothes.  But one was not.

• Satin & Fur: dress, coat, gloves, and hat. Now with matching hair color tube.
• Afternoon Date: dress with overskirt.  Now with matching hair color tube.
• Pink Ice Satin gown with cape. Now with matching hair color tube.
• Formal Feather Green gown with feather cape and matching hair color tube.

The question did they come with all the normal accessories or not?  Are they in Tammy's box or not? All of the items would be very rare.

Glamour Misty comes with a hair tube for blonde, redhead, and brunette.  Now we have dark green, pink, blue and light green.

Miss Barbie

 

While working on research I ran across the following Miss Barbie boxes.

I never really noticed that Miss Barbie has two boxes. The first box has a yellow seat and the second has an orange seat. It also now has “Lawn Swing Inside” on the package. The rest of the box is the same. I love finding these items that I did not know or just did not see with Barbie. I have been collecting since I was sixteen and learning new things every day.

 In the 1960s Dell comic book introduced the Barbie comic book.  These comic books are very rare and hard to find.

Barbie Children's Clothes

 I recently found a vintage Barbie children sweater.  I want to share, so more people can enjoy it. It's tagged @1964 Mattel Barbie.  I love the embordered mirror image of Barbie on the sweater.  It has stains but that is fine.  Here is the before photo.  I will try to remove the stains.

          

After working on the sweater I was able to get stains out.  Just need to re-stitch the labels and it is perfect.   I'd love to know more about the sweater.  If someone has a catalog page that would be great.

American Girl ~ Samantha Party Treats

 Early American Girl items are very detailed.  A lot of early items have no gold foil tag or markings to indicate that they are American Girl.

American Girl Samantha Party Treats has many items that are hard to find and identify.  Party Treat comes with a platter with a paper doily, 2 fans, 4 petit fours with candles, 2 ice cream bombs, 2 nosegays, and an acrylic holder.

The platter is white with gold trim. It is marked.

The paper doily is the size of the platter. It has no marks.

The fans are in off-white and they have no marks. And there is a generic one in white, it is not American Girl.

The petit fours come with wholes for the candles and come in yellow, pink, orange, and green.  Note I have seen a photo that the later Party Treat had 6 petit fours.

The candles have roses on the base; the roses come in pink & red. The candles have no marks.

The ice cream bombs are white with a red top and a cherry. The nosegays are pink roses with a paper doily.

The acrylic holder is clear and has no marks. There are two styles of holders.

Sear Barbie tea set

Mattel came out with a Barbie Tea Set.  There have been many changes and new add-on items.  In the beginning, the color was shown as white and purple and at the end, it was white and pink.

In 1961 the white plates have Barbie in Solo in the Spotlight, Sweater Girl, and a blue dress with a hat.  The saucer comes the Barbie ponytail head.  Comes with 4 plates, 4 saucers, 4 goblets, 4 cups, 4 soup bowls, 4 knives, 4 spoons, 4 forks, and 4 paper napkins.  It also has a teapot, creamer, sugar, tureen with lid, and ladle.

New this year is a Barbie Cultery Set.  Comes with a chest that holds 6 knives, 6 forks, 6 spoons, 6 soup spoons, a salad fork and spoon, ladle, butter & cake knives, and 2 candle holders.  A cardboard chest that looks like wood.  This set is in gold plastic color.

In 1963 they did the same set.  They changed it from a 4 place set to a 6 place setting.  This set and a new add piece of salt and pepper.    It has a new style in goblets this year. There is an extra Enchanted Evening and Ballerina plate.  The catalog pages have it as white and pink but is it.

In 1963 they did the Cutlery set.  Comes with a chest that holds 6 knives, 6 forks, 6 spoons, 6 soup spoons, a salad fork and spoon, ladle, butter & cake knives, and 2 candle holders.

The 1964 set is Barbie again.  It has 62 pieces.
