Tutti is Barbie's little sister. She is a small doll. Some have blonde hair and some have brown hair. I have Tutti with brown hair. Hope these comments will help you. This is one of my favorite videos that you have made. The doll with red hair is a ponytail Barbie. I believe her hair ha been cut.
Actually the redhead is Midge and it appears that her hair is in a bun and no cut ponytail, thank goodness. "Midge" is embossed on her rear end along with the date.
@@oldcuriosityshop265 Midge is Barbie's best friend. She had a totally different face mold, face paint and hairstyle. The Barbie 'head' has been put on the Midge body.
@@oldcuriosityshop265 The head is a #5 redhead Ponytail Barbie with the ponytail cut off. Please see my other comment. The heads were interchangeable with the bodies.
Yes the heads were easy to swap out back then Skipper was also Barbie's little sister, only she was flat chested back then and appeared to be maybe 8 or 9 years old, before puberty at any rate Now Skipper is a teenager almost as tall as Barbie That one with the weird back contraption might have a few options. They always had gimmicks. Talking dolls. Dolls that had hair that grew longer. They had one that 'walked'. She came with a gadget you could roll on the ground behind the doll, with wheels. There was a curved arm came out that device and up and over into the back of a doll. And as you pushed the gadget forward, it would make the dolls legs go back and forth like she was walking. Maybe the doll you have with the lever in the back is one of those Looks like mostly genuine stuff so far I remember the tiny metal zippers had pull tabs with the letters YKK on them, I'm pretty sure My mother also bought patterns and sewed clothes for our Barbies. There's a woman with a doll store who is into Barbies as well as other dolls. She has some vintage things. Her channel is Rachel Hoffman I think. Lots of your items need cleaning, some look faded, and of course sorting them out. I'm as old as Barbie so I recognize some. Some dolls had wigs . (Some panties might be bathing suit bottoms). Further complicating matters is Mattel made remakes of some of the more classic vintage outfits and dolls, but those would likely be in better condition
I had Tutti and Todd. I'm not sure they were siblings, maybe cousins. They were different though. Had wire inside a softer vinyl body so they could bend their limbs. But of course when you bend and unbend enough tines, the wire breaks.
I had Barbies ... one of my best memories is the Christmas I woke up to a full wardrobe of Barbie clothes in a case that my single mom had stayed up nights making. Beautiful, intricate dresses, trousers, tops and coats - all hand-made. We couldn't really afford the $2.95 for each outfit at the store, so Mom decided to make them. they were much better than the store-bought ones. I'm not sure whatever happened to my Barbies and all the clothing --- but I really loved and appreciated that Christmas gift I got in the mid 60s.
I know what you mean about the cost of early Barbie outfits. My mom used to say that they cost as much as my clothes! We did get a few Mattel outfits each Christmas, but mom did make alot of the ones I still have. She knitted with tiny needles suits of the sixties for my sister and I. She even made Wedding dresses from her Senior Prom dress! But boy, I how I wish I had that dress as I also am a Vintage clothing collector
Scott, you must be one of the luckiest people I know. To find all those Barbie clothes in one shopping trip is unreal. I have been a Barbie collector since I was five or six in the early 60s. I still have my original Barbie, her friend Midge and her cousin Francie. Skipper was her little sister. You have made your money back with the first bag! Having the small accessories that usually get lost are some of the most costly to replace. They have wardrobe books to identify the pieces which all have numbers and names .to them. Some of the were designed by famous designers of the day. The early sixties are the most sought after! I am laughing at what you have found and how you are unsure of the treasure you now own. Barbie GOLD and you are right Barbie is hot because of the movie, not that I liked it. LOL
Oh I remember almost all the Barbie brand clothes Scott was showing. They're from the 1960s. I never had a Ken doll but my friends did along with Midge, Skipper and Francie and I think the molded hair Ken is older than the sponge hair Ken. Scott, you have a treasure trove - how fun to find this and enjoy learning and exploring on the clothes. One thing I'd love to do is sort, clean, repair and iron the clothes!
Some of the designers of the era brought out their own Barbie type dolls with clothing to buy just the same as the way Barbie was merchandising. I had the doll developed by Mary Quant she was sold by the name of Daisy in the 1970s. Great packaging aswell. I went to the Mary Quant exhibition in London a couple of years ago and saw the dolls again. They now sell for a fortune. I'd love to rummage through the Barbie stuff you have I'd be in my element!!I had Barbie with her horse back in the 1970s. She also had a sports car 😊
When one purchased a Ken doll, he came dressed in red swim trunks, the red and white striped beach jacket, and cork slide-type sandals. I sold all of my 1960's outfits at a flea market. Since they were mine, I knew what accessories went with each outfit. I sold each "ensemble" separately. I used tape on the back of the clothes and fastened them to a piece of cardstock.I slid the cardstock into a plastic bag. I wrote the name of the "ensemble" on a tag and stapled it to the top of the bag. A lot of work, but the presentation helped them sell quickly. Have fun!!
Scott, if the remaining 15 bags are anything like this one, you have your work cut out for you! As you’re aware from the comments, these are classic, vintage genuine Mattel from the early days. A good reference book on Barbie clothing is Barbie Fashion:A Complete History Volume 1: 1958-1967 by Sarah Sink Eames. Very detailed with photos. I request one video per bag as you go through them-Please! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you go through this treasure trove of my favourite fashion ensembles. You had me in “stitches” trying to get your man-hands around the tiny snaps and panties!
Scott.Iam a barbie collector as well as a vintage glass collector. You have hit a gold mine. Please do not get rid of anything in the bags. Please go online and purchase this book! Barbie Fashion vol.I,1959-1967 by Sarah Sink Eames! This book has photos of every Barbie outfit that was made including accessories. Also Barbie,Francie,Ken,Skipper,and Tutti.This book is an absolute must to help you. There is also a volume II,1968-1974. Love your videos!
I loved seeing all of the vintage Barbie clothes! The ones with zippers are the oldest. I received my first Barbie in 1959 for my birthday! She had black hair in a pony tail and wore a black and white striped swim suit. When I turned 13 I gave all of my Barbie items away and wish I had them now!!! Loved my Barbie!!!
Holy guacamole! You hit the mother lode! What an incredible deal. Definitely separate the outfits - don’t sell by the bag! You have some fab tagged pieces! I wonder how many of your subscribers knew who and what you were talking about when you mentioned What’s my Line and the panelists! 😂😂😂 I remember!! Congratulations on the find of the year already!
Oh my Scott…. You hit the holy grail . I am 64 and Barbie came out in “1959”. I am noticing dolls and outfits that I had Skipper was Barbie’s little sister.
Thank you, your facial and verbal reactions to your new-found Barbie haul are priceless! The blue cape comes from a nurse's outfit (white dress underneath) and the light blue pinafore/jumper with birdhouse appliques are all early Barbie outfits. The doll you showed through a bag is from the 60's. Great find...think you will do well with these items even if the sorting and inventory will drive you crazy. Have fun!
Fun X 16 bags , Ski outfits, Cheerleader outfits, iconic dresses, tennis, smashed hats, oh my word! Yes, you have bits and pieces and those genuine Barbie black/white label items! Collectors of all levels know how to clean and restore these items. Maybe someone will help you put together sets of completed outfits? Glad you bought them all, you will have more success with grouping the correct pieces together. 🤣 Yes, I want to see it all! Take your time that's my advice.
Look up everything! You have some old Barbie’s! They’re worth money. I’d wash all clothes iron them and sell. You can do it. The internet has a wealth of info for u!!
Wow, did you stumble upon a treasure trove! We weren’t well off as a family in the 60’s. My parents picked strawberries in.BC to afford birthday presents for my sister and I. She got a bubble hair Barbie and I got Ken! I remember being so disappointed so I later got some other fashion doll. That striped Ken jacket is what Ken was sold in as part of swimwear. Our parents couldn’t afford to buy the clothes so my mother made them. I still have these treasures along with the original dolls. ! ❄️🇨🇦❄️
That is what dreams are made of! I’ve been dealing in dolls practically my whole life… my mom and dad are antique dealers and my mom specializes in dolls. The first doll you pulled out is in fact Free Moving Barbie from 1974… and you got a lot of nice 1960’s outfits… if I wasn’t all the way in Indiana I would love to help you put outfits together… the accessories are worth quite a bit… like the gloves, and especially if you can find necklaces and bracelets, also high heeled shoes from the 1960’s are good. Love your finds!
Barbie clothes LOL!!!! a I have all of those outfits so far!! OMG I am laughing so hard!!!!! Kens red and white striped jacket was for at the beach, the little yellow thing was a hat!!
Scott, OMG, what a Barbie score!!! A lot of the outfits you were holding up from the 1st bag were pieces that go to the first Barbie (1959). You have outfits titled Evening Splendor: (gold lame’ coat w/ brown fur), Saturday Night Date: (turquoise blue dress that goes over the white puffy sleeves dress), Capes to the Nurses O/F, Winter Holiday: (blue, black & white sweatshirt with hood) Plantation Belle: (southern Belle pink hat), Sunday’s Best: (yellow hat with tulle veil.) The booklet you showed was outfits from later Barbies. And yes, Ken O/F’s are worth money! Good decision NOT to sell by the bag! You may have the accessories that go to the outfits too in one of those bags! 👍🏻
Scott all I got to say is You’re in the 💴 fantastic. You are absolutely right to carefully research each piece . I am glad you took a chance and went out of your comfort zone. When you make millions you must throw a fantabulis party and invite your devoted subscribers 🎉
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Ooh you might have some the famous designer... Bob Mackie's designs in there. He designed for Cher, Tina Turner, Carol Burnett and many others. If you need to clean any of the clothes I would do it by hand warm water a few drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid. To dry a clothes do the best you can to wipe off any metal parts such as snaps and zippers to remove as much water as possible then lay the items out flat as possible after they're almost dry flip them over on the other side to complete drying. To store the clothes store them flat do not hang them on hangers and of course do not fold them. There are wardrobe books for Barbie's clothing. Skipper was Barbie's little sister. Skipper was the first character addition to the Barbie family. Some items you will want to sell and lots and others will have value on their own.
I'm laughing my head off! Watching your, "man" hands handle the little clothing is hilarious to me! We were immigrants from Greece in the early sixties, when my sister or I got any kind of toys from friends or relatives, my mom would take them back and get something practical! My daughters were never into Barbies :(. I hope we do get snow so you can sort and list! Good luck, I hope you make a killing and make some people very happy to buy and add to their collection!!
That is an amazing vintage Barbie haul! The dolls were early ones. I wish you could show us all of them! You need a true Barbie collector to pair up the outfits. They look like they are in wonderful condition. I am sure there are some FB groups that could help you identify them. There even could be a group that buys and sells so you could go directly to those buyers. I am in a few just for nostalgia purposes. I just watched the film last week. I think you have a good profit there! We had a hand made dollhouse for our Barbie dolls. One of our neighbors grandparents made it for them. They moved away and left it to us. We lived in Middletown. We brought it here to NC when we moved when I was 12. My niece had it when she grew up too. Good luck!
Brilliant purchase, Scott. The world of Barbie and friends is VAST with many, many, many evolutions since her inception (1959) including hair styles, body parts, outfits, and accessories. Be kind to yourself. Looks like the first bag contains the early 60's original costumes and dolls. Even if you don't have any "thousand dollar dresses", you potentially have hundreds/thousands in costumes and dolls (however condition is always important obviously). PLEASE DON'T RUSH THIS DISCOVERY PERIOD OUT OF FRUSTRATION AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. You've got the motherlode. I actually think it would be helpful to you to "play dress up" for awhile and see what Barbie and Ken look like IN THE CLOTHES - you're very good at guessing vintage and I'm sure you can remember what your mom and cousins were wearing when you were a kid, etc. Winter is a great time to sit around the fire and "sort", possibly wash and iron/steam, and put together the entire outfits, perhaps by decade? Use sandwich bags, whatever ... there's no rush. Take your time and have some fun with it all. Your mom can help with styles, too. Congratulations on your new adventure ! ;)
Oh what fun! Cha Ching!! Everything you just showed is vintage , 60's , 70s Barbie! Take us along on your journey for info, it's so exciting! Well done!
Mattel, Can't Tell, New Glasses? LOL Hand wash those clothes Scootie! Skipper Was Barbies Sister I believe. Ken was Styling! Pencil skirt (orange One) Amazing find Scott! Holy cow you will definitely make waaaaay more than your money back! BUY A MAGNIFYING GLASS!
Thanks for rescuing that stuff Scott. There are some nice things in there that people would love to have. Istill have the first Barbie I ever got, 1965.
In 1965 my family was taking a long car trip. I was making my Barbie “ walk” and as she walked I made a clicking sound. It bothered my brother so much that he yanked off her head, and tossed it out the car window! I still have the headless Barbie, and I still love my brother!
Im going to venture to say you have thousands of dollars in those bags. Be very gentle with the older clothing. What an 2024 FIND!! This also brings back lots of memories for me. I played with Barbies for hours & hours with my three sisters in the 60's. Congrats!! This is your find of the new year!
You showed the buble cut barbie it looked like the original it could be worth alot of money and the clothes you first looked at looked original you hit a gold mine
Great find Scott, you need to separate everything first. All the dolls, accessories, dresses, gowns, coats, etc. then you can go through the piles and look up things by category. Good luck and I’m sure you’ll keep us updated. If I see a video from the airport I’ll know you found the jackpot!
Wow! Absolutely Wow Scott! I agree with the other commenter that you have made your money back and then some with that first bag! Tiny snaps were used long before Velcro was used on the Barbie Clothing. An amazing score!
You're going to be a Barbie expert soon. I finally just watched the movie yesterday. I didn't have Barbies really, but my Grammy made clothes and gave me some dolls and we had some at her house to play with.
The pink thing that you said I'don't know is a hat, or fascinator. The M top is for Barbie's friend Midge. Barbie outfits included foundation garments that, sometimes, didn't have labels, Skipper is Barbie's little sister, Tutti is the younger sister of Barbie and Skipper. Barbie had many hair styles through the years. The Barbie with the lever on her back is to make her do the twist. It's a Twist and Turn Barbie. All of the clothing for all the dolls is valuable. Please go through every scrap carefully even if you can't identify it immediately, and try to put together complete outfits.
Nooo, I had an original Twist and Turn Barbie and her waist was cut at an angle instead of horizontal. So when she rotated at the waist, she didn't merely go left to right, she angled up or down That lever back gadget was some other doll, maybe a waking one, hair growing, talking or something
@recoveringsoul755 I'm not an expert in Barbie. I bow to your greater knowing and experience. Thank you for the correction! If people don't tell me when I'm wrong I'll never learn. Truly thanks.
This is an amazing find. There are lots of Barbie reference books available, so take the good advice you give and pick up a couple. I agree with the commenter who suggested soaking.. I always drop in a color catcher because some of the trims may not be color fast. Eagerly looking forward to later installments.
FOR PITYS SAKE says it all Scott! Have we entered an alternate 2024 universe?! Good luck with your Barbie education😘You NEED to watch the Barbie movie during the snow in!
Separate everything by doll (skipper, ken Barbie) then start putting together the outfits with the hats shoes etc. to help you look on line for what accessories went with what outfit
This is amazing!! Have a couple friends over on a winter day and have a sorting party (with reference photos on hand) 😊. Sort by type of clothing first then bag up outfits as you find them. Then you can clean & list as you wish. I'm in Baltimore and happy to drive up and help if you need a hand ;-).
Scott you’re hilarious! Loved this Barbie clothing unveiling. Thank you for sharing. ❤️. I haven’t laughed so much in ages. All the best from the uk 🇬🇧 .
Potentially a huge profit in those bags of Barbies and clothes, depending on condition and completeness of the outfits and accessories. If they’re Midge or Skipper they’re also potentially valuable. If it says Revlon or Miss Revlon, they pre-date Barbie and are for a Miss Revlon fashion doll - also potentially valuable. The striped Ken shirt should have matching shorts. Soaking the clothes in OxyClean will go a long way to cleaning them up - no washing them in the machine, please! The second male doll might be an Alan - another of the Barbie “fam”.
Hello Scott, Well, I just got an education on Barbie after reading all 458 comments! Congratulations on your find! My only concern is that you not wait TOO long before listing your Barbie collection, as the time is really hot right now with the advent of the recent Barbie movie. Barbie and her family and friends are possibly on the brain more than usual right now, especially for those who love to collect.... God bless you richly 😊, Lisa from California
Wow! If I remember correctly, some of the Barbie clothes appear to have been for the first original Barbie and Ken dolls. And save those shoes and accessories! They are so tiny, few survived. Perhaps you can find collectors who can tell you how to clean and match up the outfits. Then you can forget about radios and percolators and spend the rest of your days doing that. lol
No wonder why all the Barbies and Kens at the Goodwill and Saver stores are naked. You got all their clothes.😂 You just made my day with this video. I cant stop laughing. You are so funny Scott.
Scott you are to be commenced for being willing to go outside your wheelhouse. I watched the Barbie movie on a recent flight. My suster was big into Barbie, God rest her soul. Best wishes to you as you undertake rhis process!
Wow. This was a stroll down memory lane for me. I remember so many of these outfits. I could sit there all day going through those bags and be very content. You'll definitely get your $$ back and then some.
The sheer ‘unmentionables’ are the bottoms for pajamas with floaty tops called ‘baby dolls’ and the blue capes go with a white slim dress as a nursing uniform.
OMG are you kidding me???!!! I'm no expert but it looks like vintage Barbie clothes gold mine!!! Holy Cow! Even at least two vintage Barbies! I will be watching your Ebay store more carefully! 😱😮
The red head might well be an older ponytail barbie with her hair put in a bun. Some outfits come with many accessories, complete sets are worth more. Books and online info are your sources. Many will have 90's prices which were astronomical, then dropped alot. I don't know if the movie has impacted old collectibles much. You're right taking the time will be worthwhile. Watch for ykk brand zippers which will also identify Barbie clothes.Those snaps are typical also. Do not wash unless you learn from an expert. Smart purchase!
Scott, you hit the Barbie Jackpot!!! Believe me, I used to collect Barbie and all of her accessories. That definitely came out of an Estate sale. Woo Hoo, what fun!
Tutti is Barbie's little sister. She is a small doll. Some have blonde hair and some have brown hair. I have Tutti with brown hair. Hope these comments will help you. This is one of my favorite videos that you have made.
The doll with red hair is a ponytail Barbie. I believe her hair ha been cut.

Yes the heads were easy to swap out back then
Skipper was also Barbie's little sister, only she was flat chested back then and appeared to be maybe 8 or 9 years old, before puberty at any rate
Now Skipper is a teenager almost as tall as Barbie
That one with the weird back contraption might have a few options. They always had gimmicks. Talking dolls. Dolls that had hair that grew longer. They had one that 'walked'.

Maybe the doll you have with the lever in the back is one of those
Looks like mostly genuine stuff so far
I remember the tiny metal zippers had pull tabs with the letters YKK on them, I'm pretty sure
My mother also bought patterns and sewed clothes for our Barbies.

But of course when you bend and unbend enough tines, the wire breaks.
You now have to Press and Iron and Hang and Photograph each and every outfit!!! This will take you 8 months😂😂😂😂
Yep! But worth every second committed to the job!
We're all seeing Scott's retirement fund! Travel the World Baby!! ❤

The dress with the sewn on snaps is a very vintage original one.
I think the first outfit he pulled out is a part of Friday Night Date.
your expressions are freaking PRICELESS ** I am having the BEST time watching you go through all this Barbie inventory 😍

That was so fun to watch! I’m cracking up at your comments along with the music. I had an off day and I’m glad that I watched this. 😊
Oh my Scott…. You hit the holy grail . I am 64 and Barbie came out in “1959”. I am noticing dolls and outfits that I had Skipper was Barbie’s little sister.

Oh Scott, I’m so jealous. What I would have done for all those Barbie clothes back in the day. I love seeing them. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Lol I'm jealous too! Lol he really has an absolute Gold Mine there!
The blue cape goes with a nursing outfit for Barbie. The brown hat has a sheath style brown dress that matches.
You are full of surprises. Washing and ironing all of those tiny clothing pieces, yikes. See you around Thanksgiving.
You're facial expressions are hilarious!
Look up everything! You have some old Barbie’s! They’re worth money. I’d wash all clothes iron them and sell. You can do it. The internet has a wealth of info for u!!
Please go thru it all with us it would be so much fun to watch for us older ladies and a learning experience for us also😊
Something about your facial expressions going through those bags is hilarious - 2 days of the belly laughs! I owe you one.😂
Amazing find too,btw!
That you push ...Kissing Barbie came with a stamp pad type 💋 💄 lipstick ....no squirrels until you know !
Wow, did you stumble upon a treasure trove! We weren’t well off as a family in the 60’s. My parents picked strawberries in.BC to afford birthday presents for my sister and I.

Scott please take your time going through the Barbie stuff.you have got a small fortune.my sister loves Barbie I never really like her all that much.
Many of the outfits are very old you did well
Holy Moley! I can’t stand Barbie, but I think you hit the jackpot! 💥🏅

Barbie clothes LOL!!!! a I have all of those outfits so far!! OMG I am laughing so hard!!!!! Kens red and white striped jacket was for at the beach, the little yellow thing was a hat!!
Wow Scott, you hit the Barbie Jackpot!! Just the old Barbie dolls will pay for everything!!
It depends on their condition
Scott, OMG, what a Barbie score!!! A lot of the outfits you were holding up from the 1st bag were pieces that go to the first Barbie (1959).
You have outfits titled Evening Splendor: (gold lame’ coat w/ brown fur), Saturday Night Date: (turquoise blue dress that goes over the white puffy sleeves dress), Capes to the Nurses O/F, Winter Holiday: (blue, black & white sweatshirt with hood) Plantation Belle: (southern Belle pink hat), Sunday’s Best: (yellow hat with tulle veil.)
The booklet you showed was outfits from later Barbies. And yes, Ken O/F’s are worth money!
Good decision NOT to sell by the bag! You may have the accessories that go to the outfits too in one of those bags! 👍🏻
You've got some real vintage Barbie treasures! I see some substantial $$$
Seven minutes into your vlog and I have a feeling you are really going to reap the harvest!
Scott all I got to say is You’re in the 💴 fantastic. You are absolutely right to carefully research each piece . I am glad you took a chance and went out of your comfort zone. When you make millions you must throw a fantabulis party and invite your devoted subscribers 🎉
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Ooh you might have some the famous designer... Bob Mackie's designs in there. He designed for Cher, Tina Turner, Carol Burnett and many others. If you need to clean any of the clothes I would do it by hand warm water a few drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid. To dry a clothes do the best you can to wipe off any metal parts such as snaps and zippers to remove as much water as possible then lay the items out flat as possible after they're almost dry flip them over on the other side to complete drying. To store the clothes store them flat do not hang them on hangers and of course do not fold them. There are wardrobe books for Barbie's clothing. Skipper was Barbie's little sister. Skipper was the first character addition to the Barbie family. Some items you will want to sell and lots and others will have value on their own.
I'm laughing my head off! Watching your, "man" hands handle the little clothing is hilarious to me! We were immigrants from Greece in the early sixties, when my sister or I got any kind of toys from friends or relatives, my mom would take them back and get something practical! My daughters were never into Barbies :(. I hope we do get snow so you can sort and list! Good luck, I hope you make a killing and make some people very happy to buy and add to their collection!!
That is an amazing vintage Barbie haul! The dolls were early ones. I wish you could show us all of them! You need a true Barbie collector to pair up the outfits. They look like they are in wonderful condition. I am sure there are some FB groups that could help you identify them. There even could be a group that buys and sells so you could go directly to those buyers. I am in a few just for nostalgia purposes. I just watched the film last week. I think you have a good profit there!
We had a hand made dollhouse for our Barbie dolls. One of our neighbors grandparents made it for them. They moved away and left it to us. We lived in Middletown. We brought it here to NC when we moved when I was 12. My niece had it when she grew up too.
Good luck!
Brilliant purchase, Scott. The world of Barbie and friends is VAST with many, many, many evolutions since her inception (1959) including hair styles, body parts, outfits, and accessories. Be kind to yourself. Looks like the first bag contains the early 60's original costumes and dolls. Even if you don't have any "thousand dollar dresses", you potentially have hundreds/thousands in costumes and dolls (however condition is always important obviously). PLEASE DON'T RUSH THIS DISCOVERY PERIOD OUT OF FRUSTRATION AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. You've got the motherlode. I actually think it would be helpful to you to "play dress up" for awhile and see what Barbie and Ken look like IN THE CLOTHES - you're very good at guessing vintage and I'm sure you can remember what your mom and cousins were wearing when you were a kid, etc.
Winter is a great time to sit around the fire and "sort", possibly wash and iron/steam, and put together the entire outfits, perhaps by decade? Use sandwich bags, whatever ... there's no rush. Take your time and have some fun with it all. Your mom can help with styles, too. Congratulations on your new adventure ! ;)
Oh what fun! Cha Ching!! Everything you just showed is vintage , 60's , 70s Barbie! Take us along on your journey for info, it's so exciting! Well done!
I certainly got my laugh for the day! All that stuff is Barbie related.
Scott you're going to be rich with all that barbie stuff🎉😊
I will also take that Ken sweater from the 70s! Loved it! 🥰
At 13:00 - That is most definitely a Barbie! She was called Free Moving Barbie. I had one myself in the mid 1970s. Loose, floppy thing she was 😂
I would get a book at the library or online that tells the clothing and their values.They have them just like on the glassware,etc.
Mattel, Can't Tell, New Glasses? LOL Hand wash those clothes Scootie! Skipper Was Barbies Sister I believe. Ken was Styling! Pencil skirt (orange One) Amazing find Scott! Holy cow you will definitely make waaaaay more than your money back! BUY A MAGNIFYING GLASS!
Goldmine !!!
Thanks for rescuing that stuff Scott. There are some nice things in there that people would love to have. Istill have the first Barbie I ever got, 1965.
In 1965 my family was taking a long car trip. I was making my Barbie “ walk” and as she walked I made a clicking sound. It bothered my brother so much that he yanked off her head, and tossed it out the car window! I still have the headless Barbie, and I still love my brother!
That would’ve been the END of our relationship! 😂
Holy doll, Barbie! You have hit the mother lode! Barbie, Ken, Midge, Allen, Skipper, Tootie, Chris, Francie. I’m probably missing some.
Don’t forget Casey! She was the one with a smile! I had a Casey head that went bodiless for 40 years until I found Ebay! 😄 Wasn’t there a Stacie?
Im going to venture to say you have thousands of dollars in those bags. Be very gentle with the older clothing. What an 2024 FIND!! This also brings back lots of memories for me. I played with Barbies for hours & hours with my three sisters in the 60's. Congrats!! This is your find of the new year!
You showed the buble cut barbie it looked like the original it could be worth alot of money and the clothes you first looked at looked original you hit a gold mine
Skipper was barbies young sister
Great find Scott, you need to separate everything first. All the dolls, accessories, dresses, gowns, coats, etc. then you can go through the piles and look up things by category. Good luck and I’m sure you’ll keep us updated. If I see a video from the airport I’ll know you found the jackpot!
Wow, Scott! Those are a treasure! Someone donated Grandma's Barbie collection. How fun!
Wow! Absolutely Wow Scott! I agree with the other commenter that you have made your money back and then some with that first bag! Tiny snaps were used long before Velcro was used on the Barbie Clothing. An amazing score!
Kens bathing suit cover up. Im so excited!
You're going to be a Barbie expert soon. I finally just watched the movie yesterday. I didn't have Barbies really, but my Grammy made clothes and gave me some dolls and we had some at her house to play with.
Wow! Love it all! You are hysterical trying to figure out a skirt from pants!😂😂
The pink thing that you said I'don't know is a hat, or fascinator. The M top is for Barbie's friend Midge. Barbie outfits included foundation garments that, sometimes, didn't have labels, Skipper is Barbie's little sister, Tutti is the younger sister of Barbie and Skipper. Barbie had many hair styles through the years. The Barbie with the lever on her back is to make her do the twist. It's a Twist and Turn Barbie. All of the clothing for all the dolls is valuable. Please go through every scrap carefully even if you can't identify it immediately, and try to put together complete outfits.
Nooo, I had an original Twist and Turn Barbie and her waist was cut at an angle instead of horizontal. So when she rotated at the waist, she didn't merely go left to right, she angled up or down
That lever back gadget was some other doll, maybe a waking one, hair growing, talking or something
@recoveringsoul755 I'm not an expert in Barbie. I bow to your greater knowing and experience. Thank you for the correction! If people don't tell me when I'm wrong I'll never learn. Truly thanks.
OMG!!! Can I come over to your house to play? The sheer nostalgia of it all! ❤️🇨🇦
This is an amazing find. There are lots of Barbie reference books available, so take the good advice you give and pick up a couple. I agree with the commenter who suggested soaking.. I always drop in a color catcher because some of the trims may not be color fast. Eagerly looking forward to later installments.
I have a few Barbie books. Worth buying one to ID the clothes.
FOR PITYS SAKE says it all Scott! Have we entered an alternate 2024 universe?! Good luck with your Barbie education😘You NEED to watch the Barbie movie during the snow in!
In the late 60s my mom and her aunt made 100 Barbie outfits for each of my female cousins, 6 of us and my mom made me an extra 100 outfits.
Those two blue Barbie capes goes to a nurse outfit vintage
I was screaming through the entire video! What an amazing find. The dolls alone are worth the money and then some.
Separate everything by doll (skipper, ken Barbie) then start putting together the outfits with the hats shoes etc. to help you look on line for what accessories went with what outfit
This is amazing!! Have a couple friends over on a winter day and have a sorting party (with reference photos on hand) 😊. Sort by type of clothing first then bag up outfits as you find them. Then you can clean & list as you wish. I'm in Baltimore and happy to drive up and help if you need a hand ;-).
You are so funny. O smiled the whole time you were looking at the doll clothes. The blue capes are from 1959 when you could dress Barbie as a nurse.
Scott you’re hilarious! Loved this Barbie clothing unveiling. Thank you for sharing. ❤️. I haven’t laughed so much in ages. All the best from the uk 🇬🇧 .
Wow Scott 😍. I think you have scored there.👍
Potentially a huge profit in those bags of Barbies and clothes, depending on condition and completeness of the outfits and accessories. If they’re Midge or Skipper they’re also potentially valuable. If it says Revlon or Miss Revlon, they pre-date Barbie and are for a Miss Revlon fashion doll - also potentially valuable. The striped Ken shirt should have matching shorts. Soaking the clothes in OxyClean will go a long way to cleaning them up - no washing them in the machine, please! The second male doll might be an Alan - another of the Barbie “fam”.
Hello Scott, Well, I just got an education on Barbie after reading all 458 comments! Congratulations on your find! My only concern is that you not wait TOO long before listing your Barbie collection, as the time is really hot right now with the advent of the recent Barbie movie. Barbie and her family and friends are possibly on the brain more than usual right now, especially for those who love to collect.... God bless you richly 😊, Lisa from California
You did extremely well you have some money in those bags good good score Scott
I’m glad to see you expanding and yes you will make your money back
Love seeing all the old Barbie clothes and dolls. Look for sets. The tennis jacket had a tennis dress that went with it, and racket and shoes.
I love that you bought these treasures and are sharing them with us.
Skipper was the Captain!! 😂😂😂
Wow! If I remember correctly, some of the Barbie clothes appear to have been for the first original Barbie and Ken dolls. And save those shoes and accessories! They are so tiny, few survived. Perhaps you can find collectors who can tell you how to clean and match up the outfits. Then you can forget about radios and percolators and spend the rest of your days doing that. lol
Scott, you have a Malibu Ken. He's got that Malibu suntan!
No wonder why all the Barbies and Kens at the Goodwill and Saver stores are naked. You got all their clothes.😂
You just made my day with this video. I cant stop laughing. You are so funny Scott.
It would be so fun sorting all that out into matches! I’m envious.
Scott you are to be commenced for being willing to go outside your wheelhouse. I watched the Barbie movie on a recent flight. My suster was big into Barbie, God rest her soul. Best wishes to you as you undertake rhis process!
This is FUN watching you go through all this 🤣
WoW! What a blast from the past!
I inherited an original Barbie with a lot of those clothes from my Aunt; so they're familiar.
Good times❤
You hit my Barbie dream jackpot!!!! Yes, please have a Barbie show, show me everything, I’m in love!!!!
Wow. This was a stroll down memory lane for me. I remember so many of these outfits. I could sit there all day going through those bags and be very content. You'll definitely get your $$ back and then some.
GREAT FIND SCOTT YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK BUT YOU NEED WASH BY HAND AND IRON ALL 😉 😀 HAVE FUN WE CAN HELP IDENTIFY 😉
You made me laugh my head off seeing you go through all the Barbie clothes. Good luck figuring out all of these things.
The sheer ‘unmentionables’ are the bottoms for pajamas with floaty tops called ‘baby dolls’ and the blue capes go with a white slim dress as a nursing uniform.
OMG are you kidding me???!!! I'm no expert but it looks like vintage Barbie clothes gold mine!!! Holy Cow! Even at least two vintage Barbies! I will be watching your Ebay store more carefully! 😱😮
The red head might well be an older ponytail barbie with her hair put in a bun. Some outfits come with many accessories, complete sets are worth more. Books and online info are your sources. Many will have 90's prices which were astronomical, then dropped alot. I don't know if the movie has impacted old collectibles much. You're right taking the time will be worthwhile. Watch for ykk brand zippers which will also identify Barbie clothes.Those snaps are typical also. Do not wash unless you learn from an expert. Smart purchase!
Scott, you hit the Barbie Jackpot!!! Believe me, I used to collect Barbie and all of her accessories. That definitely came out of an Estate sale. Woo Hoo, what fun!
Make your money back? Hahaha. You are looking at some really pricey goods. That had to be someone’s collection.
IN MY OPINION Why are you acting all aggravated by it all?
PERFECT Timing 😚 Barbie things !! Happy New Year ...learn your stuff ...if you wash i wouldn't put in dryer
Oh my God awesome find
