Hockey Bobbing Heads

RECENTLY DISCOVERED HOCKEY DOLLS (May 2013

Above, you will see a TIMRA IF "Red Eagles" Swedish hockey doll (Intermediate series). It surprises me when hockey dolls from the 60's & 70's are discovered. I always hoped that my website would be informative to other hockey doll collectors but it has paid off for me as well. I was contacted by Mats L. from Sweden who sent me pictures of their dolls so i can share them with you.

I have been repairing 60's paper mache dolls for the last 6-7 years now. If i can help you with a doll that needs help, just contact me.

I have a standing question for any of you readers or hockey doll collectors - I want to know when some of the minor leaque dolls were first sold. If you know or remember buying or seeing some of these dolls in the arenas where they were sold, send me an email. The minor leaque dolls did not have dates on the bottom of the bases. The Baltimore Clippers & the Portland Buckaroos for example, had their own mold designs so I am not sure exactly when they were produced. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS

Price Guide for Bobbing Head dolls =
This book came out (Nov. 2005) about bobbing head dolls. It was sold at most larger book stores (Borders, Barnes & Nobles) & on-line book stores. I have even seen it on Ebay & Amazon.com! It was written by Lou Criscione that alot of you already know. I am proud to say that he used alot of my hockey dolls for pictures in the book. List price is $12.99 but i understand that Lou sells it from his website for ~$10.00 PPD.
