Mattel™ Barbie Rare Vintage Fashions and Accessories |
The three Mattel Barbie outfits shown below are difficult and hard to find to find in any condition. Each were featured only in the 1959 booklet. The rarest accessory is the first prototype fish that came in 967 Picnic set (1959), it's so rare no one has ever found one (not even Mattel - because it was never produced). The second fish produced can be found and is also highly sought. The next rarest accessory would be the real brass compact in Roman Holiday, very highly sought.
Collectors say that to tell if it's an original brass metal compact, which is usually a combination of copper & zinc, try sticking it to a magnet, if it sticks to the magnet, then it's probably the original brass compact, the reproduction compact is painted gold plastic and won't stick, but someone has written to say their original compact did not stick, so use your own judgment. |
