KEN SLIDE SHOW:  #2 Molded Hair Ken Dressed in Tuxedo

SIZE: 12".

MARKS:   on body:   Ken T.M. /Pats.Pend/©MCMLX/by/Mattel/Inc.

DATE OF ISSUE:  1962

CHARACTERISTICS OF DOLL:  Doll no longer has flocked hair like the #1 doll; doll also comes in brunette.  Ken is wearing Tuxedo #787, produced from 1961 to 1965.  Its one of the most common Ken outfits, but very hard to find in this condition.

PRICE:  Hard to estimate value of doll alone, since doll is part of Wedding Party Gift set.  Approximately $150. 

COMMENTS:  This doll has came dressed as part of the Wedding Party Gift Set, and has never been undressed.  His outfit is exceptionally mint, and he still wears his wrist tag.  Other dolls included in the set were Barbie in Bride's Dream, Skipper in Flower Girl and Midge in Orange Blossom, PLUS a tiny yellow satin pillow with a golden wedding ring (only found in this set).
