Here I have a wonderful pair of early Raggedy Ann and Andy byGeorgene Novelties
Thesedolls are the most coveted of the Georgenes because of the black outlinednose, and the large size of 19”. If myresearch is correct, this version was made until about 1942 before entering the"Transition" period. Both dolls have printed facial features, four diamond-shapedlashes, thin brows, long noses outlined in black, red oval centered lips, blackshoe-button eyes, red wool ...yarn hair, thick-striped red and white stockings, black shoes, and are wearing their original clothes which amazingly still arevery clean and so very bright and crisp!
Raggedy Ann is wearing the ORIGINAL dress used in thereproduction of the stamp doll which is hard to find. She'sdressed completely in a floral Georgene dress, pinafore and pantaloons. Amazingly her dress and other clothes have very little to no fading. Ithas the original raised metal mushroom button for closure in the back. The pantaloons are in very nice condition with the elastic slightly stretchedbut the pantaloons pretty much stay up! Ann's face is excellent but she does have a pinpoint age spotto the upper left of her left eye. Hardly noticeable. Under Ann’s dress I can see the heart on her chest with themessage, “Love you.” Andy’s clothes areattached to him and I do not want to remove them but I am sure he has a similarheart on his chest also. The original apron has two teeny tiny age stains on the backher but both are negligible due to the fact that both are on the veryedge of the apron. Amazingly there are no stains or tears on Ann’s body that Ican see. Ann’s brother, Andy, is also in wonderful shape with evenmore vivid clothes than his sibling! Andy has a teeny tear in his back left leg and very hard tosee spot, I think, to the left of his right eye. They have no odors and come from a smoke free home. This adorable pair of early Raggedy Ann & Andy would be anice addition to anyone's doll collection. Andy still has his original hat which is most often missing. If you are a collector of these wonderful cloth Raggedy Ann& Andy dolls, this pair would be a fantastic addition to your collection. If you have questions or desire additional pictures please ask I am always glad to accommodate. Amazingly vivid color on the clothes of these doll wonderful dolls!!
