Vintage Raggedy Ann Book and Plush Doll Lot
$38.50
This curated trio captures the heartwarming nostalgia of the 1970s nursery, bringing together the literary and tactile charm of Johnny Gruelle’s beloved characters. The centerpiece is a classic Playskool Raggedy Ann doll, standing at a neat twelve inches with her unmistakable mop of vibrant crimson yarn and stitched "I Love You" heart tucked beneath her calico dress. Her soft silhouette is paired with two distinct era-specific publications: a 1972 Golden Shape Book with its iconic scalloped edges and a 1979 edition of Raggedy Ann Learns a Lesson, illustrated with the gentle, detailed artistry of Vernon R. McKissack.
Includes:
1. 1980s Playskool Raggedy Ann with Hidden Heart Plush Doll. Measures 12" in height. Excellent condition. (She appears smaller than she is in the cover photo)
2. 1972 Raggedy Ann and Andy Softcover Book. Good condition, some yellowing on pages and a scribble on the inside cover.
3. 1979 Raggedy Ann Learns a Lesson Softcover Book by May Manoni. Illustrated by Vernon R. McKissack. Does not have the media that was originally with it. Good condition. Shows wear and there is writing on the back cover.
These pieces offer a delightful touch of whimsy for a child’s bookshelf or a dedicated toy collector’s display. While the books show the honest wear of decades—soft yellowing and a few handwritten notes from previous owners—they remain wonderful examples of late mid-century children’s media. Style this set together in a nursery vignette or use the doll as a playful accent on a spindle bed. The vibrant primary colors and classic Americana aesthetic provide an instant sense of comfort and history to any creative space.
This lot is vintage, over 50 years old.
