American Stories Collection Patriot Barbie doll a patriotic beauty

1997 American Stories Collection Patriot Barbie Doll

The American Stories Collection of Barbie Doll was issued for only three years, but it produced some of the best quality play-line Barbies including the 1997 Patriot Barbie Doll. This was the last doll in the series of 8 historic dolls which were apparently considered rather plain by little girls and collectors.

Fanciful Colonial Attire

The Patriot Barbie was jazzed up a little from her earlier counterparts, with a less historic and more fanciful take on a lady's attire in 1776. Dressed in a red, white, blue and gold outfit made up of a red satin skirt, blue velvet jacket trimmed with lots of gold, and antique white lace cuffs and collar, Patriot Barbie wears a blue tricorn hat with white feathers. She holds a miniature gold version of the Liberty Bell.

The colonial doll features pale skin, beautiful blue eyes and brunette ringlets.

Patriot Barbie comes with a Liberty Dream Storybook and is perfect for 4th of July and patriotic displays.
