Cloth Doll

There was a time when doll collectors had no interest in cloth dolls, but that era has passed. Unique and distinctive, cloth dolls have more character than their china and bisque counterparts and have been known to sell for as much money as a new car. Because they are made of a more delicate material, collectors expect imperfections and markings on even good condition dolls. The fragile nature of cloth dolls makes them rarer than antique dolls of other materials, and therefore more valuable.

Although there are several famous makers of cloth dolls, such as Izannah Walker and Norah Wellings, handmade dolls of unknown origin are also valuable and prized as folk art. Vintage Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls are also collectible, more so if they have a manufacturer’s mark. Cloth dolls in original packaging or with original era clothing are especially valuable. The more unusual a cloth doll and its clothing, the more it will be worth on the collector’s market.
