Vintage toys are often beautiful works of art and fascinating artifacts. Most of these are not from my own collections but I have tried to give as much information as I can find about them. If you chose to repin these, please include the credits and info. These objects were not only created, but they were also photographed and often are part of larger collections. All of this information belongs with the image. Thank you.

This item is the Barbie-Q Outfit #962. It was made between 1959 and 1962. This set has the salmon colored cotton sundress, white mule shoes with the white Chef hat and white cotton apron. The barbecue cooking utensils include the rolling pin, the knife, spatula and large spoon. It also has the potholder. This is the complete outfit as was sold by Mattel. This outfit is in very good condition. I find no stains, tears or rips on the dress or apron/hat. All stitching seems to be in good condition. The dress has the Barbie tag on the inside. The shoes, potholder and utensils are all in good condition also. This item is from a private Barbie doll collection and was well taken care of.
