Deals NEW 1996 Commemorative 12" Hasbro Raggedy Ann and Andy cloth dolls & FINE 1960s Johnny Gruelle Raggedy Ann Stories - Raggedy Andy Stories

For Raggedy Ann and Andy fans, I am offering a pair of Commemorative Edition 12" cloth dolls from 1996. They are NEW in their original boxes. To this is added a set of 1960's Johnny Gruelle's Raggedy Ann and Andy stories. The two books are in FINE condition. Previously owned and well cared for by "Gerard", with minor shelf wear, they look like they have never been read.

Raggedy Ann and Andy's 12" Hasbro - Simon & Schuster cloth dolls are 25 years old. The Raggedy Ann doll commemorates her 80th Anniversary. Her brother's doll, commemorates his 75th. These "Beautiful reproductions of beloved childhood friends" are identified as #27399.

The 25 year old dolls are new. Each has a full head of the traditional orange yarn hair on a round smiling face completed by large plastic eyes and fabric features - nose, mouth, lips, eyebrows and lashes. Raggedy Ann wears a dark blue flowered dress with contrasting red collar. Her white ruffled apron sports a matching red handkerchief in its pocket. Coordinated gold flowered bloomers peek out from under her dress. Brother Andy has traded his checkered shirt for a matching red flowered one with gold flowered collar and blue ribbon tie. His pants are deals a blue checkered print with gold fabric buttons. Both wear their traditional red and white fabric stockings and black shoes. Charming and well-made!

Two books are included, a 1960 edition of "RAGGEDY ANDY STORIES" and a 1961 edition of "RAGGEDY ANN STORIES". Both are written and beautifully illustrated by Johnny Gruelle. Published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company, the 9" x 6 1/2", 80+ page hardcover books are 60+ years old. Used, they look like they MAY NEVER HAVE BEEN READ and are in FINE CONDITION. Their colors are bright and pages are clean. Their bindings are tight. There is however, some visible shelf wear around the cover edges.

Thanks for considering them.
