The rarest Barbie accessory is the prototype fish that was supposed to come in the first 967 Picnic set (1959), however, it was never produced. The second fish that was produced in the 967 Picnic Set, can be found and is also highly sought. The next rarest accessory would be the real brass compact in Roman Holiday, very highly sought.  The 968 Roman Holiday 1959 compact was supposedly made of brass and zinc, thus it should stick to a magnet, the reproduction Roman Holiday compact is made of painted gold plastic and won't stick to a magnet, but someone has written to say their original compact did not stick, so use your own judgment.
