And, do you have the ORIGINAL Barbie Doll? The one in the black & white striped swim suit? If you do, it is worth $25,000!!!!!
My Barbie is a few years newer then the one with the black and white striped swimsuit. I do have the original swimsuit. It's a red one-piece. My Barbie has a pony tail just like the original and is in great shape. She's not worth $25,000 but she's probably worth a little something, but I couldn't bear to part with her!

I also have Midge, Skipper, and Scooter, all in great shape!! I didn't have any little sisters to play with my dolls and ruin them.

That's cool that your grandmother still has her Chatty Cathy doll!!

What a great "memory lane" thread!!

Back for my 7th birthday, I fell in love with Happenin Hair Francie, Barbie's cousin. I wanted her so bad! Well, lo and behold, I got her - and I STILL have her to this day I no longer have her hair pieces or her original dress/shoes but have thought about trying to get them off ebay.

For Christmas one year (can't remember the year, '72 maybe or '73) all I asked for was the Movin Grovin Crissy doll - yep - got her too and still have her! She's in her original dress (shoes long gone) and sitting on a shelf in my room.

I still have my Malibu Barbie, Malibu Ken, Mod Hair Ken, and some clothes and shoes. I had just about everything Barbie you could imagine and when we moved from Florida to Mississippi back in '78, we gave a lot of our barbie stuff to some kids in our church who didn't really have a whole lot - and there was an original barbie in there!!

My mom had an original Barbie and my grandmother gave it away without asking my mom one day when my mom was off at college. My mom was SOO upset about it, and is still upset about it today. Oh well.

The gift I wanted most of all when I was small was a Chatty Cathy doll, and I got one. Her voice did stop working, but it was a few years later. I don't have her any more. After I left home, my mother packed up most of my dolls and put them out in the garage. We lived on a farm, and the garage was more like a barn, and the mice got to my dolls.

This is a great thread. Brings back memories.
