Trivia:

The Allan doll was named after Barbara Handler's real husband Allan Segal.  Only one vinyl Mattel case pictures a graphic of both Barbie & Allan, a high valued case.  Barbara & Allan Segal had two children; Cheryl & Todd.  They divorced in the 1960's and Allan the doll disappeared (1966) from the line until 1990.

1425 Allan's Best Man (1966-1967)

This was the only outfit specifically made for the Allan doll other than his original swimsuit attire; it featured a white dinner jacket, with half white lining, black zippered pants with soutache braid down the side, white lace & pearl button trimmed white shirt, red satin cummerbund & bowtie, black knit socks and black shoes.  Boy - he almost out shined the groom!  NRFB $1,750
