NEW Vintage 12" Black Applause Raggedy Ann cloth doll & NEW 1960 Johnny Gruelle Raggedy Ann in newest the Snow White Castle - Bobbs-Merrill
For Raggedy Ann Fans, I am offering two NEW vintage treasures - a rag doll with a new look and a well-loved tale.
The first treasure is a NEW vintage Applause 12" Black Raggedy Ann cloth doll with her original tags. The Black rag dolls differ from their more common white rag doll versions only in their skin and hair color. The dolls themselves have black yarn hair surrounding their brown, round, smiling faces. They have beautifully embroidered features - triangle orange nose and lips with black mouth, eyebrows and lashes. Raggedy newest Ann's clothing is iconic - embroidered white-aproned flowered-dress over white bloomers all over red and white fabric stockings and black shoes. The clothes are charming and well-made! The doll is aged, maybe a little wrinkled, but her colors are bright, the whites are crisp and clean but in overall, EXCELLENT CONDITION.
The second treat is one of her favorite books "RAGGEDY ANN in the SNOW WHITE CASTLE". It tells the tale of Ann and her brother's journey to the snow castle where they reversed a sleeping curse with the help of a magical golden ring. On their adventure they encountered many strange folk who helped them on their way. This is a NEW 1960 edition of "RAGGEDY ANN in the SNOW WHITE CASTLE", written and beautifully illustrated by Johnny Gruelle. The 9" x 6 1/2", 95 page hardcover book was published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. The 60 year old book is aged, its binding still tight, Its pages are clean, its cover still bright. It looks to be in NEW CONDITION and NEVER READ! On the negative - there is some minor visible shelf wear.
Thanks for considering them.
