You should know, Ken. 44 years. In the mid 1950's, while visiting Switzerland, Ruth Handler purchased a German Lilli doll. Lilli was a shapely, pretty fashion doll first made in 1955. Lilli is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handler to design the Barbie doll. Ruth knew what she wanted Barbie to look like. With the help of her technicians and engineers at Mattel, Barbie was born. Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson, a fashion designer, to create Barbie's wardrobe. It was in 1958 that the patent for Barbie was obtained. In 1959, Barbie doll would make her way to the New York Toy Show and receive a cool reception from the toy buyers. http://www.dolls4play.com/barbiehistory.html Look at the above site for more information HISTORY OF MODERN BARBIE There have been Barbie collectors almost from the beginning of Barbie--in 1977, only a few short years after vintage/mod Barbie bit the dust (approximately 1971/1972) http://collectdolls.about.com/library/weekly/aa062100a.htm
