I came across a few Barbie that I need some info on if someone could help. She is 11 1/2" with no clothes. She has earrings in. It looks like she had a ring at one time, due to the hole in finger.She has the two holes in her back that I do not know why. She has Mattle Inc. on the lower part of her head and 1966 Mattel Inc. Malaysia on lower part of back.Knee's do bend. Can anyone tell me who she is. And why she would have the holes in her back. TY

your Barbie is newer not made in 1966 . Go by name of Country on back I have provided with the date 1966 and it shows what year it was really made .
I hope this isn't to confusing but many people are perplexed by date and think they have a old barbie because of them keeping that date and not making new mold dates .
The button on back likely raised her arms .
