Up for sale is a rare vintage Ringo Starr doll from 1964, part of our extensive personal collection of dolls and bears. We are the original owners and have kept this piece in excellent condition.
This officially licensed Beatles doll was manufactured by Seltaeb Inc. (which is "Beatles" spelled backwards) and authorized by NEMS Enterprises. Seltaeb was created in 1963 by Nicky Byrne to manage Beatles merchandising on behalf of manager Brian Epstein.
The doll features Ringo’s signature mop top hair. When you press the top of his head, it mimics the Beatles’ iconic head-shaking move, reminiscent of their live performances like “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”
$80 OBO
Markings include:
“THE BEATLES TM” on Ringo’s back
“NEMS ENT. LTD. 1964” in a circle and “U.S. by SELTAEB INC.” on the base of his feet
This is a fantastic piece of Beatles memorabilia and a must-have for collectors of vintage toys or music history.
