Hi everyone! This is my first time on this board, but I am in the process of going through my Grandmother's house who passed away last year. I found this case full of Barbies that look to be from the 1960's and 70's. I was just curious for any info about them and what their value may be? I am planning to keep them for sentimental reasons, but I am just interested in learning about them. Any info you could provide would be awesome. Thanks so much!

The larger one in sparkly jumpsuit - about 18 in? She is supersize Barbie made around 1977. I don't know about value.

Here is a closer picture if it helps. The one you mentioned does have mattell 1966 on her bum.

Better closeup. I think the one with the head wrap and swimsuit might be a Skipper? Blue eye shadow girl has 1966 Mattell on her butt. Black eye shadow girl looks like her head might be on the wrong body, but her butt says 1958.

The year marked on the butts are the copyrite dates not the year they were made necessarily.
