  • Join Rachel and Jonathan Green for a discussion on two VERY rare Molly-es Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. The Raggedy Annis is an exceptionally large store display doll, only a handful are known to exist. The Andy is also a rare large size. When Jonathan Green says rare, he means RARE! Link to eBay Auctions: www.ebay.com/str/elegantes
    From 1935 until 1937 Molly-'Es Doll Outfitters manufactured and sold unauthorized versions of the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls until a legal decision handed down in Gruelle v (Mollye) Goldman prohibited Molly-'Es Dolls from further manufacturing and sales of the dolls.

    I'm 57. I used to get a Raggedy Ann every year for Christmas because I wore them out. Will ALWAYS love the Raggedy's and the books. Thanks. Rachel and Mr. Green.

    I love the fabric on Mollye's Raggedys. The multi-colored stripes on the legs are so cheerful. I'll never own a real one, but it is tempting to try to make a doll in that style. So very loveable!

    I cannot even with this video! 💕 A cameo of from beautiful Miss Holland who is like a ray of sunshine for me today on a rough one. Her laugh and smile is beyond precious. Raggedy chat with the expert and always dapper Jonathan. I’ve only ever seen Molly dolls in my Raggedy collector book, so this was incredible. Molly dolls have an interesting back story and honestly they’re so darn cute. I cannot believe the wonderful condition they’re in for their age. I was so excited when you found their sailor hat and apron. I have an Applause 36” pair in like new condition with tags still attached from FAO Schwarz. Picked them up from my local antique store on sale. They’re huge and I love them! They’re only from 1991 per their tags but they just brighten my doll room up. My oldest doll is from 1960-ish. I use to think Knickerbocker’s were my favorite but it’s getting to the point where I love them all. LOL! Your Vollands are breathtaking as is your winter scene. The way you set your Molly dolls reminds me of a sweet drawn picture one might see in a Raggedy Ann book. Thank you so much for an informative, amazing and fun video! ❤️🧶

    Just an FYI: for the face age spots dot them with Hydrogen Peroxide on a Q-Tip and let air dry . I read this in an old doll repair article from many years ago and tried it on a old handmade cloth doll from Ebay. She was bad and in all these years the spots have never reappeared, This did not bleach the cloth in any way-just killed the mold spots. She still looks amazing. Love the video!

    Wow! In my searching, I have never seen any of the Molly Raggedy's. Of course as the story goes she shouldn't have snitched the design anyway...
    I have 3 lovely Georgene's, a few Knickerbockers and some Applause,
    One set of my Applause are 36 inch. They are a delight and in lovely shape. I don't know if they were displays but maybe, as they don't show any wear and tear. I found them at a thrift store for $6 each!
    I would like to someday find some Vollands and maybe a Molly...I am currently sewing Raggedy Ann dolls for my grand daughters.
    I have menti oned before, you are the reason I collect them. A long time back you read a Raggedy Ann story on your channel and that's what got me started. Thanks!! We do love the dolls!🌹😊🌹

    Hi Rachel, I enjoyed this video very much!!! When my daughter was little, she loved Raggedy Ann. Her Ann and Andy dolls were the Knickerbocker series. I loved their cotton hair. The later ones had a different type yarn hair that was scratchy. Love your videos and am a subscriber. And, I enjoy seeing Holland Diane. She is really growing. Please tell Linda that it is so much fun to watch her fix and mend the old dolls and their clothes. Love to ALL!!!

    Rachel, I LOVE Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy because my Late Dad bought me a Raggedy Andy when I was a small Child and I still have him today:)!! I so LOVE those Molles Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy too:)!! Linda did an AMAZING JOB weaving Raggedy Ann's hair:)!!! Linda made it look like Raggedy Ann's hair was never disturbed at all:)!! Linda is amazingly talented:)!!!!!!! I LOVE how Linda soaked and ironed Raggedy Ann's apron as much as how Linda ironed Raggedy Andy's cute sailor hat:)!! And I so LOVED hearing Johnathan Green's take on The Molles:)!!! Thank you so much for sharing these super cute Molles version of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy:)!!!! And I so LOVE to see Holland Diane's smile in every video because she is so beautiful:)!!! It would be so cool if an actual Baby Doll was made in her image:)!!!!

    Hi Rachel!
    Can you tell me how tall the smallest Rageddies were and whether the patent is still in force. I am looking for a tiny one for my Schoenhut kids to play with.

    • @RachelHoffmanDolls
      @RachelHoffmanDolls  2 роки тому

      Hi! I’m not sure on that but you could definitely make a pair for your own enjoyment. The patents are in force so other businesses can’t make a similar product and market it. You’re fine!

    I had to watch this video again. I am sure Rachel has had a sad time dealing with and reporting on the self inflicted death of Jonathan Green. (My own father took his life in 1989). I am the person who won both the Store Display Ann and the 22" Andy that this video is about. I had just bought a Transition Pair from Jonathan, just prior to this video, so in a message on eBay to him, I had told him I was looking forward to this auction, and then I did tell him that I won the auction, and he told me he was going to list on eBay the Patent Molly-e Raggedy Ann doll that he is holding in this video and I did subsequently win this precious Patent Ann from Jonathan. I have purchased 15 Raggedys from Jonathan in the past 2 1/2 years. He will be missed.
