This Store Display is believed to be the only known complete 1962–1963 Mattel Barbie Master Floor Assortment still in existence. Created to establish a permanent Barbie Fashion Department within a retail store, this extraordinary display combined storage, merchandising and dramatic point-of-purchase presentation. It allowed customers to browse Barbie, Ken and Midge dolls, fashions, Pak accessories and gift sets in one dedicated shopping area.
