Collection of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy Dolls

The image displays a collection of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls, ranging in various sizes, suggesting a family or series of these iconic characters. The dolls are primarily made from fabric, featuring the classic red yarn hair, button eyes (though some appear to be embroidered or painted to mimic a button look), and a distinctive triangular red nose. Their faces are typically simple with a red stitched smile. Physical characteristics vary depending on the doll's size; the largest doll appears to be around 2-3 feet tall, while the smaller ones are under a foot. Several dolls are dressed in their traditional outfits: Raggedy Ann dolls are depicted in white aprons over patterned dresses (e.g., one doll is in a white dress with red rick-rack trim), and Raggedy Andy dolls are in blue trousers, striped socks, and a shirt (one visible in a pink shirt, another in a white shirt). The craftsmanship seems to be of a varied nature, indicating potential different manufacturers or different eras of production. Some dolls appear to be mass-produced, while others might be handmade or limited editions, given slight variations in facial features and clothing details. Observable condition issues include some general wear consistent with age and handling, such as slight fading of fabrics, minor scuff marks, and possible loosening of seams or yarn hair on some dolls. There are no immediate signs of significant damage like tears or major repairs. The overall impression is good, suggesting they have been a cherished collection. The dolls likely date from the mid-to-late 20th century, given their traditional appearance, though without specific tags or maker's marks visible, a precise age is difficult to ascertain. The collection includes both male (Andy) and female (Ann) versions of the dolls, along with what appear to be smaller 'children' or companion dolls, adding to the visual narrative of a Raggedy family.
