Barbies®, especially vintage Barbies, are often identified by the marks on the dolls behind or torso. The markings often include a date. The DATE, however, is not the date that the doll was manufactured, but the date of the copyright of a particular doll body. The most COMMON mark on Barbie includes “©1966″ plus “Mattel, Inc.” and the name of the country of manufacture of the doll.
I would think that you are better to find a local toy dealer or collector and take your barbie along to them and get her exmained.
