Identifying Early Barbie Dolls with Bradley Justice Yarbrough | January 2019 VDC

"Identifying Early Barbie Dolls with Bradley Justice Yarbrough" - A Program that originally aired at the January 2019 Virtual Doll Convention.
I am proud of Bradley Justice Yarbrough for his hard work, tenacity, and willingness to share his knowledge with us. Bradley has done so much leading up to this and since this video - that first convention will always be one of my most favorites! The knowledge he shares in dolls and especially Barbie, is unparalleled.
Bradley Justice Yarbrough will be presenting at the January 2020 Virtual Doll Convention - what wonders will he reveal? All I can say is that it will be entertaining, interesting, and fabulous as always. 💖
Thank you so much, Bradley, for all that you do for the Doll World!

I have 198 Barbie dolls but haven't categorized. 74yrs old now maybe my granddaughters will appreciate them.

[@uhn-nohn4272]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much for the video! I was curious if you know ways to identify an original #1 Barbie stand (with metal prongs)?

I found a number 6 head at an estate sale. I put her on a late 90’s super hero Barbie body. Don’t hate me pristine collectors!

[@debee254]

I have a #2 brunette Barbie along with bathing suit, evening splendor outfit and Easter parade outfits I’m wondering where the best place to sell her along with outfits would be? Loved the video and info. Thank you!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

eBay is your best bet

Hi does 5 have ear holes

[@bobnlou1]

I have a Barbie with holes in the feet but the eyebrows are not arched like a V. How is that possible??

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Many of them were hand painted, and some are more arched than others.

[@uhn-nohn4272]

My sister had the original barbie, I had the round Har barbie. I remember the outfits . I got my first Barbi when I was two. My sister also had the original dream house which I think was the best. Shevalsi ha d that car it was peach colored. .

[@uhn-nohn4272]

I'm so sorry my phones auto correct is horrible. It will look fine and then it gets posted and is entirely different from what I wrote. I wanted to mention in my comment about who the first Barbie was suppose to like like...facial features. I couldn't remember her name, but the woman I'm thinking of is Millecent Roger's (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) and I do think that Barbie doll does resemble her. And I think that is Barbie's middle name? She was kind of a Standard oil heiress and Fashion Icon, and later moved to New Mexico and was very into that culture and collected jewelry and art, etc.... in the early days, as you can see, it was not all bright pink, that didn't start until the later 60s and the clothes looked cheaper and kind of tacky, compared to her more couture early days. It was not about the doll it was about the clothes, that probably cost more than the doll, after all Ruth said it was because her daughter liked playing with paper dolls and changing the clothes, most Dolls were baby dolls and so she was trying to recreate a 3D paper doll on a way. I believe the first Barbi car was a Spitfire, which is what Elizabeth Taylor drove in...the one where she was kind of a hooker? I means loved the mid Century Barbie Dream House, made out of printed cardboard along with the furniture. I remember getting the Barbie townhouses and they were all plastic and pink I was not fond of them, and I think the coolness of Barbie changed. I remember having the bubble bouffant Barbie, Midge, twist and turn Barbie, I think a pj...andvthatborhervdoll that you showed that was Tammy's sister. But it's the Barbie Outfits I remember most of all. I got my first Barbie on my 2 year old birthday and I remember the first Barbie dress I got with it. I had a birthday party, remembered many of my gifts and who they were from ;-D So if you think a two year old isn't going to know or remember...think twice ;-D the thing is I still remember:-D. My first dress was the tight-fitting red dress w/ double row gold buttons. I'm jealous when I see these Barbies. :-D

[@conniehodges3848]

Round hair one called Bubble Cut(?) I had the peach car. It was a Corvette and just loved it. Tires had spoke (?) silver hub caps. Seats were white. That car had lots of miles on it. 😉

[@dawnnovak5789]

where do you find a list of Barbie Doll Shows ?

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I don’t think there are any Barbie doll focused shows but there is Barbie Convention. Google “Barbie Con” and you’ll find some info.

[@pattiammerer6776]

I have a 1968 doll with a tm on her backside, I also have an allen that was in a ken box can you help me with value and identifying their year

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

H!I We can not but there are many people online who can do a write up for you for a small fee. There's also a lot of great websites that help, start googling and researching. Thanks for tuning in!

[@antwhite684]

Just got a barbie with MCMLVIII on one cheek. And 64 on the other cheek. Whats the 64 mean?

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

HI! It means nothing, it is a product number. The right cheek is the one that matters, the left is a stock number.

[@antwhite684]

@@RachelHoffmanDolls Thank you for taking the time to respond. With help from this video I was able to find my Barbie was from 1961 #5.

[@dawnnovak5789]

Please so a video on values

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We can’t do that because they change all the time but use “sold” on eBay or a website called “Worthpoint” to find current sold values.

[@llanianemesis]

I have a collection of vintage Barbies how could i contact you?

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

E-mail!

[@GagaCiwi]
