<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 11615901, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i saw this in a thrift store that used to get great stuff. didn't buy it at first, but when i saw it a couple of days later i decided to give it a try. it has many characteristics i like. it's a home made version of Raggedy Ann. the outfit looks fairly new, but the doll looks like it might be old. almost all of the stitching appears to be done by hand. one arm and one leg have what appears to be a little machine stitch across at what might be called the elbow and knee. the other side has no stitching at all in that spot. the whites of the eyes are painted, but the buttons don't look terribly old to me. the hair is wool. i was thinking it might be from the twenties or thirties, but i know there are lots of patterns for making these. is this authentic old, or just a mussied up fake? any help will be appreciated...thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]546128[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]546129[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]546130[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]546131[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]546132[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]546133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]546134[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]546135[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
