To know the value of any doll or toy, it is important to determine the state. Is it still boxed, does it show wear and tear, is it complete, etc. Besides that, also the demand plays a key roll in figuring out how much your doll can be worth. Check eBay regularly to see what your doll or toy can fetch.

What year did the Raggedy Ann doll come out?

Asked by Wiki User

They came out in the twenties. author Johnny Gruelle had witnessed a horrifying bank robbery or similar crime and felt impelled to write softy-toned children"s tales, of which Raggedy Ann and Andy were paramount. Police ( unlike, say Robin Hood) were shown in a favorable light- Raggedy Ann and the Kind Police officer- a hulking but benign looking Keystone Kop type. Possibly Mr. Gruelle"s exposure to tragedy- well it certainly affected his writing style!

Johnny Gruelle is best known for creating the world famous rag doll characters, Raggedy Ann and Andy. While the Raggedys were the indisputable centerpiece of Gruelle's career, in his heart of hearts, Johnny was a dyed-in-the-wool freelance artist, who felt most at home at his drawing board, crafting illustrations and features for newspapers and magazines.

Marcella, Johnny Gruelle's daughter, brought him an old rag doll one day, and he drew a face on the worn fabric. Pulling a book off the shelf, he noticed two James Witcomb Riley poems, 'The Raggedy Man' and 'Little Orphan Annie'. Why don't we call her Raggedy Ann?, he said. Or so the story goes. Gruelle's family made the original doll by hand, and he gave Raggedy Ann life in 1915. She became a children's book character in 1918, and Gruelle's publisher P.F. Volland arranged to sell Raggedy Ann dolls as well.

How much is an original cell from Raggedy Ann and Andy worth?

Asked by Wiki User

I've only seen them for sale online a few times. Usually for 1 it is around $40-$50 and for 2 it is about $115, and that is when they are already in frames. The one time I saw them at a boutique, the price was $300 for a set of 3, and they sold pretty quickly. I think it just depends on how fast you want to get rid of them and where you advertise them.
