History of the Troll Dolls from the 1970s

If you grew up in the 70's, 80's and 90's you may remember the little troll
dolls with the crazy hair.

What you may not remember is where they came from.

Troll Dolls were invented in 1959 by a Danish fisherman and woodcutter named Thomas Dam.

That is where they got the original name of "Dam dolls". Legend has it that he was too
poor to buy a Christmas gift for his daughter, so carved up one these dolls instead.

The rest, as they say is history.

Another name for troll dolls is Gjøltrold in Danish. They were also known as Leprechauns.

What else were they called? Other names include Gonks, Wishniks, Treasure Trolls, Good Luck Trolls and Norfins.

The original fad took off from 1963-1965, then resurged again in the 1970's, 80's and 90's.

Believe it or not the Troll dolls even had clothes and pretty sure they even had hair brushes.

Personally, I never cared for them very much. I'm pretty sure at one point I may have burned them or burned
their face off with a blow torch.
