A friend said someone gave his 10 year old daughter a metal Barbie case from the original collection (first one that came out) & also gave her a plastic case from the same year.  He said the owner had purchased them for his little girl and she never played with them so they've been in storage ever since.  I don't have a pitcher and he couldn't describle them.  Ball park figures would be helpful and or a link where I could find history, pics, & values. Thanks!
