Title: Please help id a Raggedy Ann Rag Doll
Post by: jadedoz on Saturday 19 January 2013, 11:08 pm

I have a Santa photo from when I was 3 years old in 1984, where I'm holding a Raggedy Ann rag doll. I was wondering if anyone knows what brand it could possibly be. Here is a link to the photo:

Thanks in advance

First thing that struck me was the lower half of the doll; it looks like a Santa's outfit. To me, it looks like a Christmas/Holiday themed doll (either Raggedy Anne or Andy), but the shirt is missing from it because the arms look bare. I typed a search for 'Raggedy Anne Christmas Doll' and I found this site and it looks similar to at least one of these:

These dolls appear to be more recent re-issues, but there's nothing to say they didn't make Christmas-themed Raggedy Annes and Andy's back then! Maybe it was made straight from a pattern too, by a family friend or something. I had one like that. Do you know how you got it? It's a start anyways :)

That looks like a handmade Raggedy to me.
