Does anyone know the aproximate value of the 1963 Barbie and Midge set complete with the original case??

Question

I have a 1963 Barbie and Midge box set in the original black case. Included in the set is a number of outfits, of many different styles, as well as a mink real mink coat for Barbie. Neither of the dolls have shoes, but they are in good condition (no damage, but clearly have been used)

I was wondering if anyone had any idea how much this set may be worth because I can't seem to find much information regarding this set elsewhere on the internet.

thanks!

If you have a doll shop in your area, you might see if they can give you an idea of the value. Keep in mind that values can vary a lot when it comes to dolls.

You can also check ebay for auctions of Vintage Barbie items. There are other auction sites, but none of them are as popular as ebay.

Barbiecollector.com is all about new & current dolls. There is a showcase, however, that has pictures of vintage dolls & fashions. Some of the pictures are of actual items, others are stock photos, but they can help you to identify & name the fashions, accessories, etc.

The value can vary widely, depending on condition. What one person sees as good condition, another may see as poor condition.

Some of the things collectors look for are:

Hair in good shape, not missing any plugs, not been cut or restyled.

Do the dolls have their original lip & nail color?

Are there missing fingers, toes & are the ears clean? Many vintage dolls have green staining on their ears from the metal earrings reacting to the vinyl heads.

There are several bulletin boards for doll collectors. If you can take pictures & post them, someone at one of the boards may be able to help.
