This is a 15" vintage 1960's Raggedy Ann Doll by Knickerbocker. It has the "I Love You" stencil on the left side of the chest. There are no holes or tears but I believe that it originally had button eyes that are missing. The eyeholes have steel disks behind them. Also the white of the eyes is cracked with a little missing from the left. There is a tag connected to the left side of the doll that reads, "Johnny Gruelle's own Raggedy Ann Doll" It also has copyright 1918-1937 and copyright renewed 1946-1965. There is also what looks like a state seal of "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" and registration number for stuffed toys.
