Thank you. The photo of the text on her backside is a bit blurry - does it say "Barbie ® Pats. Pend. © MCMLVIII by Mattel Inc."?
Yes it does. The date is 1958 Pats Pending. Mattel, Inc.
Thank you, you're all set with this appraisal.
This is a doll I received when I was 5 years old and it has been in my possession the entire time.
