CASES:

Lots of vintage cases for sale that I am working on listing here! All case identification below is gleaned from the book "Collector's Guide to Barbie® Doll Vinyl Cases" by Connie Craig Kaplan (thanks so much to Connie). I will include page numbers in case you also have this great case reference book. Please note that shipping of cases costs more because of the size of the box needed, maybe around $10.00 or so. E-mail me if you're interested in any vintage vinyl cases!

1963 Barbie® single Solo in the Spotlight case (black) - dated ® TM Lic., & © by Mattel Inc.1963. This is rare black vinyl Canadian case. It features a titian Bubblecut Barbie wearing a pale blue version of "Solo In The Spotlight" in the middle, with a blonde Bubblecut wearing her red helenca swimsuit on the right and a titian Barbie wearing "Winter Holiday" on the left. This case is in very played with and used condition. There was a strip of white fabric tape, about 3 inches long, at the top where the original owner had put her name, however I have removed this since the photo was taken and you can barely tell it was there. The graphics on the front are nice and clean and not very scratched. I do see one horizontal gray line across the bodice area of the Solo dress on the middle titian Bubblecut. The case has obviously been stored with something heavy on top, as it is a bit squished down on the right side. The clasp does show some rust and the black plastic handle has wear and fraying to the plastic, like perhaps it might have been chewed on at one point. The interior of the case is red vinyl. There are a few splits in the vinyl here and there (3 that I can see) on the back of the top door, where the cardboard shows through. There is a space on the left for one doll and a metal hanger at the top for clothing. No drawer in this one, but there are no markings on the vinyl to show that there ever was one. Good for display. $13.00

1964 Barbie® and Midge® double-wide case (bright blue) - marked "BARBIE" and "MIDGE" are registered trademarks of Mattel, Inc. for its TEEN-AGE DOLLS. Used under license from Mattel, Inc. © 1964 Mattel, Inc. SPP. The front graphics show (left to right) a titian Bubblecut Barbie head, a blonde Midge head (both have blue eyes and red lips and Midge is wearing a string of pearls.) To the right of the heads is a titian Bubblecut wearing "Rain Coat" and a titian Midge wearing "Sorority Meeting". There is a swoosh of white starts that go under the heads and wrap around behind each doll, ending below Midge's left shoe. The graphics are nice and clean, however there are a few scratches here and there. There is one on Midge's (head) chin and neck and one in her hair. Also a couple on the lower part of Barbie's yellow rain coat The blue plastic handle on top is in good shape. There is some rust on the clasp and metal attachments. The interior of the case is off white with blue cupboards. One of the black elastic strings that holds the doll in place in the left doll compartment is missing, and the other one the right has come unattached from the case on one side. The two Barbie and Midge marked vinyl clothing and accessory pouches on the right side of the case are in good condition with both snaps still in place. There is a small rip in the vinyl at the top middle, between the pouches. There are less detailed graphics of 8 Barbie and Midges above these pouches wearing different outfits. The two blue plastic shoe and accessory cupboards at the bottom of the left side of the case are also in good condition, however there are two melt marks to the off-white plastic on the inside back of the right cupboard, and you can see the blue vinyl through the holes. There is some surface dirt and scratches here and there inside from age and storage, so a good interior cleaning would help. Overall this case is in fairly good condition, although definitely played with. These cases are harder to find and the bright blue case is the hardest to find of the colors available. (Pg. 18-19) $27.00

1964 Barbie® and Skipper® Carrying Case trunk (yellow) - marked "'BARBIE' and 'SKIPPER' are the trademarks of Mattel, Inc. for its DOLLS. Used under license from Mattel, Inc. ©1964, Mattel Inc." This case features two front doors that swing open and outward much like a wardrobe. Inside the left door are two doll compartments and the middle section and inside of the right door have metal bar hangers to put clothes on. Below this in the middle section are 2 drawers, both marked "Skipper Accessories" The inside is white vinyl and is in pretty good shape. The outside features graphics of Skipper doll wearing Red Sensation and Barbie doll wearing the matching outfit Sheath Sensation and they are both holding daffodils. The latch is not rusted and works perfectly. There are a few very small tears in the vinyl at the outside edges where the case folds open on each side. These are less than an inch long and really no big deal but they are there. The lower left hand corner of the case has the manufacturer's logo SPP. There are a few dirt smudge and spots here and there from long storage but generally the colors are still nice and bright as you can see from the photo. This is a nice case! (Pg 45-47) $22.00

1964 Barbie® and Midge® Lunch Box (black) - marked "Barbie is the trademark of Mattel, Inc. Used under license from Mattel, Inc. ©1964, Mattel Inc. Black vinyl lunchbox with Thermos®. The graphics feature, from left to right, a blonde Ponytail Barbie wearing "Evening Splendour", a blonde, blue-eyed, Bubblecut head wearing a three-strand pearl necklace, a titian, blue-eyed, Midge head wearing a two-strand pearl necklace, and a titian Midge wearing "After Five". There are a few thin scratches here and there through the graphics, about 6 on Midge's face and a few on the Bubblecut Barbie's hair as well. The inside of the case is black vinyl. There are two worn spots wear the cardboard shows through, on each end of the inside of the crease where the top flap folds over. The Thermos has a white plastic cap and the sides feature Barbie, Midge and Skipper. There are some rust spots here and there around the sides and there is some rust on the bottom as well. Used/played with condition but still very good for display. (Pg 97) $37.00

1965 Barbie® Goes Travellin' Carrying Case (blue) - marked "BARBIE is the trademark of Mattel, Inc., for its DOLL. Used under license from Mattel, Inc. © 1965 Mattel Inc." This very rare case has the exterior of a small red and white top-wing plane on one side and a red car on the other side, with a see-through window on both sides, so that the doll can be seen through the window on each side when seated inside the case. The graphics are a bit faded over the years, especially the blue sky painted at the top of each side. Since the lettering "Barbie goes travellin'" is in white on each side, it has become a bit hard to read now with the blue sky faded to pale blue, nearly white, in the background. The car side is more faded than the plane side. The paintings on each side are really amazing, with the plane flying over the Rhine Valley in Bavaria with the mountains in the distance and King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein Castle below in the bottom right. The car looks like it's driving through a quaint Bavarian village. Please note again that the graphics are more faded on the car side, especially the top half of the painting. No scratches or dirt that I can see. The metal clasp and black plastic handle are both in excellent shape with no rust. The interior is cream vinyl and is very clean with no splits. The charcoal gray plastic seat for Barbie is also in excellent condition and the spaces for storage on each side of the seat are also in good condition. The metal hanger is intact. I have larger photos of both sides as well as the interior, so just ask to see them. This case is in very good condition overall with the exception of the fading of some of the graphics. Barely played with and you can tell. Very rare and coveted case. (Pg 175) $190.00 (or best offer)

1965 American Girl "Barbie and Francie" Lunch Box (black) - marked "Barbie" and "Francie" are the trademarks of Mattel, Inc. for its DOLLS. Used under license from Mattel, Inc. 1965 Mattel Inc. Black vinyl lunchbox with Thermos ®. The graphics feature, from left to right, a blonde, blue-eyed, American Girl Barbie torso, a brunette American Girl Barbie wearing a rose "Music Center Matinee", a brunette Francie wearing a blue version of "Gad-Abouts" and a blonde, blue-eyed, Francie head. Very good condition graphics with hardly and marks or scratches at all and nice bright colors! The inside of the case is black vinyl. There are two worn spots wear the cardboard shows through, on each end of the inside of the crease where the top flap folds over. The red plastic capped Thermos inside probably didn't come with this lunch box as it features a Bubblecut Barbie, flip Midge and long blonde haired Skipper. Good condition with hardly any rust, although some is visible on the bottom here and there. Used condition but still in great shape! Harder to find. (Pg. 98) $60.00

1965 Skipper (TM) Red Sensation case (blue) - marked "Skipper is the registered trademark of Mattel, Inc. for one of the Teen-Age Dolls. Used under license from Mattel, Inc. © 1965 Mattel, Inc." It shows a titian Skipper doll wearing "Red Sensation" on the front. There are white doves and white vertical lines on the right hand side. The front graphics are very good with barely any scratches and the vinyl is pretty clean. Some tearing at the bottom edge where the vinyl at the front meets the vinyl at the bottom, and the cardboard shows through a little in each lower corner. The right side of the case is squished down a bit from having something stacked on top of the case for too many years. The black plastic handle on top is in very good condition. The metal clasp on the top shows a small amount of rusting. The inside is blue as well with a compartment to the left for Skipper doll. If there was a drawer, then it is no longer there. The metal bar at the top to hang her clothes on is still present. The edges of the cases and doll compartment are bowed a bit from lots of play. The inside is pretty clean. The Connie Craig Kaplan guide book says this Skipper case is very hard to find and desirable. This case has obviously been played with and is not mint but is still really good for display if you collect rare vintage cases. Cute! (Pg 166) $35.00

1966 Barbie (R) & Skipper (R) Barbie's Little Sister Carrying Case (known as the Equestrienne Case) - marked "BARBIE and SKIPPER are the registered trademarks of Mattel - Made in Canada" in the lower right front corner and the Mattel Canada logo is beside this. This trunk measure 12.5" x 13" x 6" deep. It's in in played with condition. The gorgeous graphics feature a blonde American Girl Barbie wearing "Riding in the Park" and a blonde Skipper doll wearing her matching "Learning to Ride" outfit. They look like they are waiting for their horses in a grassy meadow. The graphics extend around 3 sides of this cases (not the back) and the details and beauty of the artwork is excellent. The graphics still look wonderful and vibrant. When you open it, each side folds down outwards. There is a small tear in the vinyl at the top of each fold spot on each side of the case. The interior is in good condition. Two white cardboard drawers are intact and undamaged. Space for two dolls on the left and hangers along top for clothing in the middle and on the right. One tear in the vinyl where the cardboard sticks through on the left side lower fold-over seam. Top black plastic handle and metal clasp are in good condition. All in all this case is in really good shape for it's age and use. According to my research this particular trunk is very rare! (Pg 169-170) $160.00 (or best offer)

1968 The World of Barbie Doll Case for Barbie and her friends (hot pink) - marked "002.© 1968 Mattel Canada Ltd. Toronto Ont. Made and Printed in Canada.". The graphic are nice and bright on the front. There are a few scratches here and there to the graphics but they aren't too noticeable. There is a split in the vinyl on the upper front edge of the spine. The silvertone metal clasp is in good condition and not rusted. The white plastic handle on top is also in good shape. The white vinyl interior of the case is also fairly clean. The "Accessories" drawer is intact and in good shape, as is the metal clothing hanger above it. This case comes with non-Mattel vintage clothing, one small doll which I can't identify, one doll head and accessories from this period. I assume they are not Barbie, but could be from other fashion dolls. (Pg 26) $14.00

1968 The World of Barbie Doll Case (white with blue border) - marked "BARBIE" is the registered trademark of Mattel, Inc. for its TEEN-AGE DOLL. This case is very played with condition. There is wear to the blue edges and a couple splits along the top left spine where the cover opens. The metal clasp and white plastic handle are in good condition. A few loose clothes and accessories inside that I don't think are Mattel Barbie items, at least I couldn't recognize anything. The "Accessories" drawer is missing.

Mid 1990's "From Barbie With Love" by ENESCO "Bride's Dream" Limited Edition porcelain musical figurine. Plays Musical-"True Love". In the original box however the store sold her to me in the "Midnight Blue" box instead of the "Bride's Dream" box. Not sure why, as she was purchased brand new. I noticed the box label was wrong after the fact! She is a lovely titian bubblecut Barbie. Real lace/tulle overlay over the porcelain underskirt. She has been removed from box only to look at a few times, then put back - never displayed. Just gorgeous. Hard to find. $70.00
