Barbie Doll Backstamp

Hello,

I have two vintage Barbie dolls which Iâ€™m going to list on Ebay. Iâ€™m not very knowledgeable about Barbie dolls. Iâ€™m curious to know why there is â€œMidgeâ€ along with Barbie on the backstamp. Does this make them less valuable than other Barbie dolls? Thank you in advance for any information!

Mattel started using that mark with the introduction of Midge in 1963. The same body was used for both dolls. The word "patented" was added in 1964. Dates are explained at the bottom of this page:
