#950 Box. Some Skippers are marked "Dressed Doll", and she came wearing an outfit rather than a swimsuit
1964 #950 Straight leg with pretty carrot red hair
Rare two-tone "color magic" hair. It looks like a modern day weave! It is brunette hair with red highlights or brunette with blonde tone highlights. Both have a brunette scalp.
The word "japan" on the bottom of an early straight leg Skipper's foot. It is written from toe to heel. Some believe these were early sample dolls.
