I found this Nancy Ann Doll at a sale. I usually don’t buy many dolls anymore but she caught my eye with her adorable colors! The polka dots, pink dress and the blue feathers in her hair. When I picked her up I noticed she wasn’t plastic like most of the ones I have seen. When I was young my aunt Terrie used to have some on her treasured shelf, If i asked real nice she’d get one down for me, of course I had to very careful! I read the company started in 1936 by Nancy Ann Abbot, she started with a whopping $125 dollars, working from her apartment 18 hrs a day! But by the 1950’s the company claimed a million dollar yearly gross producing 12,000 dolls per day! It appears my Nancy Ann was a fabulous buy! She has the original box, with the insert, she’s in pristine condition, she’s one of the first ones made that were hand-painted with handmade clothes, she has her original tag around her hand! She’s a March. I’m not absolutely sure but I think she maybe in the $250 range! I paid fourteen dollars. Thanks for reading my blog !! xo
