<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 4462480, member: 84&quot;]Saw the cart come out from the back &amp; on the bottom shelf of it I saw 2 Barbie doll cases, so I grabbed them - never expecting to feel the weight they had. And when I opened them I found them full of clothes + a 1961 Midge + either a #2 Barbie or a #4 Barbie!!</p><p>When I first looked at the date on her rear I thought I had a 1st Barbie!</p><p>It says: Pat. Pend.&nbsp; MCMLVIII&nbsp; By Mattel Inc - and after deciphering the roman numerals into american I saw it was dated 1958! But researching it I found the first (#1) has holes in her feet with copper tubes in her legs and mine doesn&#039;t - which makes it a #2 or a #4 - can anyone please tell me the difference?!</p><p>Mine also has Japan on the bottom of her right foot (like the date/info on her rear this is worn a little - I can see PAN of the Japan (see photo)</p><p>Also mine is kind of sticky feeling?</p><p>Also it must have been stored in a hot humid container for a while; she has some green on her neck from the hoop earrings or the necklace.</p><p>ANY help/information would be appreciated - I know nothing about Barbies (&amp; I&#039;m a guy) - except being a picker &amp; knowing some are valuable, so I did know to look on her rear for the date (but NEVER expected to see that date!)</p><p>Thank you!</p><p>PS - Both dolls were nude but I did find the original b/w striped bathing suit in one of the drawers in the case!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]385113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385114[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]385115[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385116[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385117[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385121[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]385122[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
