Not all items show up in the E-Bay search! The History of Barbie Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy company Mattel, Inc. Barbie was launched in March 1959 by Mattel after American businesswoman Ruth Handler created the doll by using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration. Ruth had watched her daughter Barbara play with paper dolls & noticed that she often enjoyed giving the dolls adult roles. At the time, most children's dolls were baby doll infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Ruth suggested the idea of an adult- bodied doll to her husband Elliot, co-founder of the Mattel toy company. Elliot was unenthusiastic about the idea, as were Mattel's directors. During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara & Kenneth, Ruth came across a German toy doll called Bild Lilli. the adult-figured doll was exactly what Ruth had in mind, she purchased three of them & brought them back to America. Ruth then gave one to her daughter & took the other two & presented them to Mattel. The Lilli doll was based on a popular character appearing in a comic strip drawn by Reinhard Beuthin for the newspaper Die Bild-Zeitung. Lilli was a blonde bombshell, a working girl who knew what she wanted & was not above using men to get it. The Lilli doll was first sold in Germany in 1955 & although it was initially sold to adults, it also became popular with children who enjoyed dressing her up in outfits that were sold separately. Upon Ruth’s return to America, Ruth reworked the design of the doll & the doll was given the new name Barbie, after Ruth's daughter. Barbie made her debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York on March 9, 1959. This date also became Barbie's official Birthday!is not limited to - China - Bisque - Cloth - Composition - Glass - Hard Plastic - Porcelain - Vinyl & even Tin!
