From the original owner, the very
popular "Solo in the Spotlight" trunk.
This beautiful
1962 vintage trunk
has been well kept and
is in wonderful condition.
Like the Barbie
that came with it, it has been in storage since the 1960's
and has never been in circulation in the Barbie collectors community. It's difficult to photograph these vinyl
Barbie cases because of the glare on the vinyl
from the photography lights, so I've listed
every detail to give you a better idea of its
condition.
- The black vinyl looks amazing, still shiny and supple, and the color
of the graphics are
fabulous -- vivid pink and gold.
The photo above came out a bit blurry, but the
actual graphics are not. There are some
smudges on the back side as seen in the photo
below.
- All of the original accessory boxes and
drawers are present. The glue is losing
its stickiness, but the boxes and drawers are in
really nice, crisp condition.
- The metal hanging rods are both intact and
the hard-to-find red strap is still attached and
works perfectly -- which is rare to see.
- The case is structurally sound and
the handle and latch
closure are
intact and in working order -- another
rarity, there is
no rust on either one. The photo of
the latch below makes it look as if it could be
rusted, but must be a reflection or something
because it's not. It's a nice normal
silver metal color.
- The trunk has zero splits, tears or
punctures on the exterior or interior. It
has a little smell from storage and there are
marks on and under the drawer seen on the
right of the photo below. It's actually
less noticeable in real life than under the
photography lights. The metal part under
the drawer might be able to be cleaned up if
someone knows how to safely do that. I
didn't try.
- Included with the trunk are 14 white, red
and pink
hangers.
Well-preserved vintage Barbie case for the serious Barbie vinyl collector.
It's hard to believe it's 58 years old! It will be safely packed.
