Lee, one could practically off the mortgage with the 1959 Barbie in original box. That was the first Barbie. The “Math class is tough” Barbie is one of the most sought after dolls. Some time ago, I dated a doll collector. She had dolls collected from all over the world, some of them very old, but her favorite was Barbie. The problem was she herself wasn’t much of a doll. lol
Yet you played with her “toys”? I understand completely.
