GUEST: I don't know that much about 'em, but I know that they're really old. These ones, my mom found 'em in the closet.

APPRAISER: Okay.

GUEST: I don't know where that one came from, but at first I was thinking that they were from my great-grandma 'cause she has a lotta old stuff. She died when I was three.

APPRAISER: Uh-huh, and how old are you now?

GUEST: Six.

APPRAISER: Oh, do you know the names of 'em?

GUEST: I just really call 'em Raggedy Ann and Annie, but I don't know which one that one is?

APPRAISER: You don't? He would be Raggedy Andy. Well, these are about 1960 to 1970. It was Johnny B. Gruelle that started making 'em, probably even before your grandmother was born, in 1915. And they've been continuously produced. They came in all sizes. Some of 'em are, you know how tall you are? I'll say you're about three feet. So, some of 'em are as large as three feet. Some they even made 'em smaller than this. All the Raggedy Anns are soft dolls; they're all made of cloth. If you find the earlier ones, they would have a wooden heart. And they're very lovable dolls. I can see why you like 'em. Is there any one in particular you like the most?

GUEST: I like that one 'cause that one's not all dazzied up with the flowers or the bow or the hat. And I think that one's probably for fall, 'cause the flowers and brown and orange.

APPRAISER: Okay, you're one of the youngest collectors I've ever met. And would you like to know the value or do you know any of the value of any of these? Okay, you want me to tell you the value? This one is worth maybe $5 or $10. This one about the same. This one is maybe $15. And this one is maybe $25 because he's Raggedy Andy. Not as many Raggedy Andys as there are Ann. And this one is probably worth $25 to $45.
