Ornaments, Raggedy Ann & Andy, Felt & Fabric, Japan, Vintage 1950s

A mid-century Japanese import, this Raggedy Ann and Andy set is pieced together from felt, cloth, and yarn, with hand-painted faces true to the era.

• Maker: Unbranded (Raggedy Ann & Andy characters created by Johnny Gruelle)
• Materials: Felt, fabric, yarn
• Dimensions: Ann (standing) 3.5" x 1.5"; Andy (sitting) 3" x 2"
• Origin: Japan
• Era: Vintage, 1950s
• Condition: Very good vintage condition — Ann's hanging cord could use a touch of glue on one side; Andy's head has slight wobble. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

Andy still retains his original "Made in Japan" label.

A nostalgic gift for anyone who grew up with these two, or a fond addition to a collection of vintage rag doll ornaments.

Raggedy Ann was created by writer and illustrator Johnny Gruelle, who patented the doll design in 1915 and introduced her in a 1918 storybook; Andy joined her in 1920. The pair became a beloved fixture of American childhood for generations, which is exactly the nostalgia these Japanese-made ornaments were designed to capture decades later.

Would pair perfectly with our solo Raggedy Ann or the patchwork rag doll boy for a larger grouping.
