You are purchasing Vintage Barbie Doll Shoes Brown Open Toe 1959 #2 Ponytail Doll Right Shoe Mark Japan. This is original mattel not a repro. One is marked japan, it is the right shoe marked Japan which only belong to the #2 doll. They were made only during the few months the #2 was out and are very hard to find actually harder to find then the #1 shoes. Collectors call them right shoe japans. The #3 and dolls after that had the japan marked on the left shoe. The number two shoes are also a little smaller than the #3 shoes, please do not attempt to put them on anything but the #2, although they will fit some of the dolls with the smaller feet, they were only made for the #2, and you can damage them that way. They are in very nice displayable condition. There have very minimal wear and some minimal scratches. One is a little more rounded in the back. Minimal wear to the edges and the heels have minor wear to the bottom. Minor little extra pieces of plastic from the way they are cut in the factory.

I unfortunately had to change my handling time to 4 to 5 business days. I still ship quickly. However with the current condition of the post office and the slow down of the mail they are already holding packages for several days without any tracking scan acknowledgements. Please note I stay on top of all tracking numbers and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause in this frustrating situation. I just want my customers to know there will be delivery delays.
