Colorful Collectibles

The highly prized trolls are those with colored eyes. The most common dolls had brown or amber glass eyes. Green and blue glass eyes were later introduced, but were soon replaced by several colors of plastic "spiral" or striped eyes. A troll with colored glass or spiral peepers can command twice the price of a plain brown-eyed doll.



The troll on the left (with purple hair) has hard-to-come-by green glass eyes. The troll on the right has the very popular "spiral" plastic eyes. Posted by Hello

Standard 3" Dam Trolls



At the beginning of the first American troll fad, the most common and popular dolls were the standard Dam trolls. They stood just less than 3 inches tall (hair not included) and had brown or amber glass eyes. Most were naked, and many had either "DAM" or "©64" stamped on the backside. Occasionally, a circle with "DAM THINGS EST 1964" was pressed into the bottom of one foot. It is important to remember, however, that many Dam dolls were not factory marked from the early 1960's to the mid 1970's.

Above are three examples of standard 3-inch trolls. All of them have the classic brown eyes and have "DAM" embedded across their backs. Posted by Hello
