Oh, my! This is a very special Barbie, and certainly not a child's toy. In 1995, Mattel celebrated its 50th anniversary with a very special, limited edition porcelain Barbie doll. This Barbie is number 02240. She is dressed for the occasion in a stunning long red gown and stole with dramatic accents. Fifty red roses adorn her ensemble and headpiece, while a golden commemorative bracelet graces her wrist. What a beautiful way to celebrate! You will see in the photo that Barbie's hands are protectively wrapped. Once she is living with you, you may remove the protection, and finish dressing her as she deserves.

In the special gold box, you will find Barbie in her gown, stole, and headpiece; earrings, long fingerless gloves; a golden bracelet; open toe shoes; doll stand; booklet with numbered certificate of authenticity, and a reply card. There is some damage to original box on upper front, but Barbie has never been out of her protective packing.

Bid high on this Barbie. Remember, every cent goes to help spay and neuter dogs and cats to avoid unwanted animals living and dying horrible lives and deaths.
