VTG. GEORGENE GRUELLE AWAKE ASLEEP RAGGEDY ANN DOLL c. 1940's GREAT ORIG. OUTFIT

Description

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A PETITE RAGGEDY ANN DOLL MADE IN THE 1940's BY GEORGENE NOVELTIES (NO TAG) AND HAS 2 FACES, CALLED 'AWAKE/ASLEEP'.  THIS DOLL IS APPROX. 13" TALL.  HER NOSE IS SCOOPY SHAPED AND SHE HAS HER ORIGINAL PRONG EYES, WITH A BIT OF WEAR BEHIND THEM FROM AGE, IF YOU LOOK VERY HARD.  HER HAIR IS A WIG OF VERY SOFT COTTON. NOTE THAT HER ASLEEP SIDE DOES NOT HAVE THE HEART, JUST HER AWAKE SIDE.  THERE ARE SOME FLAWS IN THIS DOLL, BUT SHE IS SO SPECIAL, I HAVE HAD HER IN MY PERSONAL COLLECTION FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS, A NON-SMOKING HOUSEHOLD.  SHE HAS SOME STAINS FROM PLAY ON HER HANDS AND BODY, ALSO SOME STAINS ON HER STRIPED LEGS, AND A SMALL SPOT ON HER ASLEEP SIDE FOREHEAD WHERE A BIT OF STUFFING IS COMING OUT, RIGHT UNDER HER HAIRLINE.  NOT DETRACTING, BUT MENTIONED FOR ACCURACY.  THE LAST PHOTO SHOWS THE HAND-STITCHING WHERE THE DOLL WAS ACTUALLY STUFFED AS THE REST OF THE DOLL WAS MACHINE STITCHED.
HER TINY PANTALOONS ARE FULL AND NICELY RUFFLED AND FIT AT HER WAIST JUST RIGHT.
THE APRON IS A GEORGENE NOVELTIES APRON AND LOOKS GREAT ON HER, NOT SURE IF IT'S HER FACTORY APRON, IT'S PINNED ON THE OPEN SIDE AND WORKS GREAT ON LITTLE ANN.
THE DOLL DRESS IS ORIGINAL AND RARE, STILL BRIGHT BLUES IN COLOR AND FEATURES A BEAUTIFUL FLORAL STRIPE PATTERN.  SUPER NICE CONDITION.
A VERY RARE DOLL FOR ANYONE'S RAGGEDY ANN COLLECTION!
THIS DOLL WILL SHIP VIA USPS PRIORITY WITH TRACKING.  NO INT'L SHIPPING.  THANKS!
