Above, you will see a DIF Swedish doll (Intermediate series), a Montreal Canadiens "Blinker" & a Saint Paul Rangers hockey doll (REGULAR 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 2 people recently who were searching for 60's hockey dolls and found my website. One was Joe C. from Ontario, Canada & the other was Mats L. from Sweden. They have sent me pictures of their dolls so i can share them with you.

** I created a new section showing the Japanese patents that I have found for the bobbing head dolls created in the 1960's. See my new ORIGINAL JAPANESE PATENTS page for 9 baseball patents that I found and a description of the Japanese text that you see on the patent application. If any reader finds a patent # different from those presented in my Patents Section on any of their dolls, please pass it along to me. I will then find the artwork and add it to my web site. ENJOY!

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.
