Raggedy Ann and Andy on a farm in summer, on ice skates in winter — and the wear to prove this box lived a full life.
Maker: Aladdin Industries
Character: Raggedy Ann & Andy
Materials: Metal/tin
Dimensions: Approx. 8.0" wide × 6.75" tall × 3.75" deep
Origin: Nashville, TN, USA
Era: Vintage, 1973
Condition: Rustic/primitive vintage condition. Paint loss, scratches, scuffs, discoloration, corrosion; no thermos, no handle; small corner dent. One side retains original colors well — the kind of honest patina many collectors appreciate and seek out. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Sold as-is for the collector who loves the story a worn object tells, or as a display piece in a retro or nostalgic interior.
This lunch box was manufactured in Nashville for The Bobbs-Merrill Company, who held the Raggedy Ann & Andy character rights at the time — a farm scene on one side, ice skating on the other. Aladdin produced the first character-themed school lunch box (Hopalong Cassidy, 1950), and this piece is from their most prolific era of collectible boxes.
Pairs nicely with our Madeline in Paris lunch box — browse our shop for more character lunch boxes and children's collectibles to round out your collection.
