<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 104323, member: 210"]The Barbie Closet, best identification book for older Barbies I have ever seen. I ended up with two copies (it is out of print) because I lent mine to an antique dealer friend and they swore I didn't... so I bought another copy then they found mine. Sigh. I love the older ones, played with them as a child, my favorite toy. I had the platinum swirl ponytail.... always wanted the brunette ponytail #3 with brown eyeliner. They are very pricey now. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the vintage cameo sterling pendant my husband got me for Christmas. It is of a good size. I like to identify the Greek/Roman goddesses on them. When I saw it, I immediately thought Aphrodite, but it is Hera that usually wears a crown. After some internet research, I found out that this is a carving of the Venus of Capua, a statue, and she does wear this diadem. Cool stuff.... love this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]26372[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
