The Whitman Publishing Company became Golden Publishing in 1983 after having started as Western Publishing in 1907. They have a LONG history of fine paper dolls!"Barbie and Ken", Whitman #4797 was published in 1962. This set was carefully cut out and was gently played with. The box is in good shape with everything original and complete but does show some storage wear. The dolls are in good condition and they stand without an issue. Ken does have a slight crease mark on the back of the doll and nothing on the front. The clothing is close to complete but had some storage creasing when I bought the set. Placed under a heavy book for a while should fix that. These are very rare sets and highly collectable. For the age (56 years old!!), it's in excellent used condition. The entire set is shown.Please see photos for content and condition. All of the paper dolls that I offer are from estates and from other homes. I don't know the previous storage history. My collection is kept in a smoke/pet free area of my home with a dehumidifier running 24/7. I have a poor sense of smell at my age and am unable to detect odors. People smoked way back when, so that could linger and I would not be aware of it. I try and list all of the flaws with any paper dolls that I sell.Please, Pay Pal only and I only ship to the continental US. Please ask all questions
