I don't have any really old Raggedy Ann or Andy dolls. Mine date from the Knickerbocker years 1963-82, with a few later Applause dolls thrown in. I do love the cute little Raggedy Ann marionette which is on the right side of my doll grouping.
I have six books, including two editions of Raggedy Andy stories, one with the dust jacket. These were originally copyright 1920, but I have no idea if either of them is valuable. They aren't in mint condition, but are precious to me! The illustrations are so charming!
The Marcella: A Raggedy Ann Story was dedicated to the memory of his beloved daughter Marcella.
This cute little Raggedy Ann & Andy toy is a reproduction Fisher-Price toy released for Toy Fest in 1997. The original F-P toy was produced in 1941. It's my very favorite part of my Raggedy Ann collection!

I was working at Northeast when Lisa was born, and one of my colleagues was making lifesized Raggedy Ann dolls, so I bought one for her....not sure how I ended up with her, but it was the only doll I ever wanted as a child. I also have Alison's, which is at least 60 years old, and an original book. I was just looking through it....how much more beautiful the images are in writing about being kind and good....than the trash they churn out for kids today. I syill have most of the books I loved as a child, and re-read them now and again.....a good book is always a good book.
