Description

VTG 1991 Raggedy Ann Design Patent Colorized Print SIGNED in 1999 by Kim Gruelle 17" x11" Suitable for framing! We recently were able to pick a home in Arcola, Illinois (birthplace of Johnny Gruelle, creator of the iconic rag dolls, and home of an annual Raggedy Ann festival), and found a decent amount of unusual Raggedy Ann & Andy paper and books. This print is a copy of his 1915 patent for one early version of the Ann doll, with color added. Dedication signed "To my friend Susie, with magical wishes, Kim Gruelle 99'. Measures about 17" x 11"- would look great mounted and framed on your wall!
Print is is excellent condition with no color fading or tanning, only light wear to the paper
We try very hard to protect your purchase- books and other paper items get sent in plastic sleeves or bubble wrap surrounded by cardboard, other breakable items get packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or other protection  to help avoid postal damage. See the comments from our buyers on our feedback page for more details.
Please see photos for more details :-)
And now- Roadypig’s Ebay policy and disclaimer stuff :-)
We will combine multiple purchases and give you a discount if possible to save both of us on shipping- just send an email to let us know when you are done , we will send you
an invoice with the shipping discount. If eBay won’t allow you to buy without immediate payment (due to their rules for sellers to qualify for Top rated Plus), we will refund you any overpayment as soon as we can get on our computer (we only charge our buyers our ACTUAL shipping costs on every order) !
Please study the pictures and description before bidding or purchasing , and ask questions if you are unclear about
anything.  Be sure the item is what you want before purchasing, because we do not take returns EXCEPT through the eBay return system.  All items sold as is.  We are not experts in any field.  We find interesting things at auctions and estate sales, and pass them along to you.  We do a little internet research and describe things as best we can, but you probably know more about the item than we do.  You decide the quality and value.  Please let me know if we have incorrectly described or identified the item.
We do not sell using “free shipping”  (except for an occasional light paper item that we can slip into a first class envelope for a single stamp)- we would rather sell you items for the best price, and only charge you for our actual shipping costs. Please compare our full price including shipping to what other sellers are asking with “free” shipping- we strive to have the best total price :-)
We buy most of our items from estate sales and other outside sources, so we can not promise you that an item comes from a “smoke free” home. We try very hard to make sure anything we sell is clean and does not contain odors , but if you are an individual who is extra-sensitive to any odor please contact us before purchasing.
We always post as many photos as possible to give you the views you need to see any possible flaws, and to help you decide if the item for sale is right for you. We DO NOT use "stock" photos- what you see in the photos is what we will be sending to you.
We often pack our sales in clean, recycled boxes and packing materials. It’s our little way to keep these items out of the landfill for another use, and helps keep our prices as low as possible :-)
USPS shipping only.
Thank You For Looking!
