Vintage Folk Art Raggedy 17" Andy Doll. Measures 17" in height. Very good condition. Clothes attract lint.
Celebrate a century of childhood magic with this authentic handmade Raggedy Andy doll. This 17-inch plush companion is a wonderful example of Americana folk art, featuring the classic deep red yarn hair and a friendly hand-embroidered face with a wide, stitched smile. He comes dressed in his traditional outfit, including a miniature brown checkered cap and matching bow tie, burgundy overalls with button details, and his signature red-and-white striped legs. A unique feature of this specific doll is the small, hand-attached white hobby horse he carries under one arm, adding an extra layer of storybook charm.
Raggedy Andy was introduced to the world in 1920 as the brother to Raggedy Ann, and handmade versions like this one were often crafted using popular patterns from companies like McCall's, making each one a unique "artisan made" treasure. This doll is in very good vintage condition and has been well-preserved over the decades. His fabric body remains clean and sturdy, though his dark burgundy clothes naturally tend to attract lint, which is common for these soft cotton and felt-like materials. He is an ideal addition to a primitive-style gallery wall, a vintage-themed nursery, or as a sentimental birthday gift for a collector of classic toys.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
