The Original Barbie from 1959

The original Barbie was debuted in 1959.  She has a blonde ponytail, red lips, and a black and white striped bathing suit or swimsuit.

Barbie has become a cultural phenomenon around the world, but perhaps no Barbie doll is more sought after than that original 1959 Barbie doll.

Unfortunately, the original Barbie doll is rare and hard to get.  You can find her on auction sites like eBay, but she may be up to several hundred dollars if you're lucky enough to find one in great condition with the original box.

The 1959 Barbie can be found usually from $50 up to $500, depending on the condition.  Some have sold for more.  The timing has a lot to do with it.  Whenever Barbie has an anniversary, for example, the original doll becomes harder to get.

If you have a 1959 Barbie and you want to know it's value, you can take a look at the current prices on eBay to find out what it's worth.
