COCA-COLA
SODA FOUNTAIN
SWEETHEART BARBIE
COLLECTOR'S EDITION
Mattel
It was the 1880's. An age of invention and exploration. Much was happening to link the world, and make life more enjoyable. In May of 1886, a pharmacist mixed a fragrant syrup with soda and introduced Coca-Cola to the world at a soda fountain in Atlanta, Georgia. America's favorite soft drink was born.
As its popularity grew, Coca-Cola was featured at more and more soda fountains. Starting as an alternative to the saloon after the Civil War, the soda fountain at first served only soda and mineral waters. By the turn of the century it had become a popular, often elaborate, beverage center throughout the U.S. with every cold drink imaginable.
Soda Fountain Sweetheart Barbie brings this moment to life. She is the first in a series of Barbie dolls dressed in beautiful fashions inspired by the exquisite ensembles featured in Coca-Cola advertising. Through her we see not only America's past, but how we looked in the very latest styles of the day. The fashions, worn by the loveliest women of the time, appeared in ads illustrated by famous artists. As the time changes, the fashion changed. And because most were illustrated in glorious detail, one can almost tell the year of the ad by the fashion.
Holding a glass or bottle of "Coke" as Barbie does here, the lovely Coca-Cola girls graced calendars, trolley signs, elaborate window displays, even bookmarks in some of the most beautiful advertising ever produced. At the same time, the ads preserved America's passing scene for future generations to enjoy.
They're two American symbols, together bringing the past to life. Meet Soda Fountain Sweetheart Barbie doll, the premier doll in the nostalgic Coca Cola Fashion Classic Series.
For years, the Coca Cola Ladies were the world's most glamorous advertising symbols. From calendars to magazines to serving trays, their image was everywhere, depicting fashionable women of the times. Now Barbie adds her own timeless glamour and beautiful smile to those legendary ads as she brings the Coca Cola Ladies to life.
Lovingly created from a 1907 ad, every detail brings back those nostalgic days. Even the Coca Cola glass and holder she carries is authentic to the times. Barbie and Coca Cola, two American originals together for the first time.
This is one of many Barbie dolls I have available, including all 6 in this series.. Should you buy 2 or more, I will ship them free of charge anywhere within the United States. You can seem them all

or by searching ebay for the word alansbarbies with "include descriptions" checked.A physical description follows...
ARE YOU A COLLECTOR OF ALL THINGS COCA COLA?
I used to be and still have quite a collection of "stuff" Coke related, but am slowly but surely selling it all off. Check
HERE!
to see if there is anything I have that you can't live without! I'll gladly combine shipping as long as you give me the opportunity to do so by NOT AUTOMATICALLY PAYING if you want me to combine order. TRUST me, I'll send you an invoice very quickly and once you receive the combined invoice, then you can pay me. If the above link does not work, try using an ebay search window, check the search descriptions box, and put in the word alanscocacolamemorabelia. All my Coke stuff should come up then.
For any of the other hundreds of items I have available use the link at the bottom of the page. And if you have any requests, by all means, send me an email; if I have it, I'll list it right away for you (no off eBay sales...)
About Me & This Item...
I am a private collector of art, books, music (10,000 records alone!) and "stuff" and am very picky about what I buy. I don't like surprises when I buy things from auctions any more than you do. I promise everything there is to know about this item is in this description. I also do not subscribe to "grading" as frankly, grading is totally inconsistent and most of the "graders" TRULY have no clue, so I will use plain English if it is OK with you...
*This is an authentic Mattel Barbie Doll in PRISTINE condition, still in original box, never been removed. A BEAUTIFUL piece for any Barbie collector! Enjoy...
For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...
I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date!
PAYMENT TERMS:
Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below..
Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers?
Please Read on...
GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I
ONLY SHIP
domestic packages
INSURED
, which is
AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost,
and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded!
IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP!
If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to
SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs
, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options.
Since I am a legitimate business, Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS!
PAYMENT OPTIONS
:
I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with
.
Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.
As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents.
SHIPPING ADDRESSES
:
IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address.
SHIPPING COSTS:
Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live.
International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.
Import duties, taxes and charges are
not included
in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is illegal and immoral.
