For sale is a vintage Barbie doll accessory from the
estate of local lifetime Barbie collector, Catherine Gilliam, who meticulously
assembled a large, stunning, carefully organized and protected collection of rare early
Barbies, outfits and accessories(along with some convention and other rare pieces)—many of
which I will be listing. An expert collector, Mrs. Gilliam was a Barbie
convention Senior Judge, a charter member of the NBDCCSC, and chairman of the
1994 Barbie convention in Birmingham. The last picture shows this collector's credentials and a 1994 picture of her at the Birmingham convention with Mattel execs (NOTE: These credentials and photo are NOT included in this listing.)
This clothing lot features the 987 Orange Blossom Set, and it includes everything you see in the pictures, including
any collector’s notes about this set. The information in my listing is based on
her notes. This collector specialized in collecting original pieces, but I don’t
have the expertise to discern if any repro pieces ended up in this set, so I
have taken many pictures for you to examine in order to make your best
determination, and I welcome further questions. This accessory looks and smells
good, but the pictures provide the best sense of condition. The collector kept
the set in a sealed bag(pictured), which will be included in this lot.
At your request, I will be happy to create a combined shipping invoice on multiple purchases, subject to size/weight restrictions or any other eBay policy limitations. However, eBay's Global Shipping Program may limit combined shipping for international buyers. Payment is expected within 3 days of purchase. Have fun.
