    Description

    This is a super rare Danish knitting book from 1964 titled "Troldetoj" which translates to "Troll Clothes" in English by Kirsten Clausen with instructions for knitting troll doll clothing. There is a forward written by Thomas Dam in Danish (there is an added paper with an English translation of his forward included) and cute photographs of vintage 1960's Dam troll
    dolls wearing the knitted outfits. Also included in this lot is an even rarer Danish magazine from the same time period with an article about the "Troll Clothes" knitting book. The magazine is called "Se Og Hor - Fjernsyn og Radio" which translates to "See (or watch) and listen - television and radio". They are both complete and in gently used condition. The book is soft cover, like a paperback or magazine. All of the inside pages and photographs are in black and white, but the cover (front and back) are in color. The magazine is completely in black and white. They both are in excellent shape for their age, but there are a few signs of edge wear on them and a slight smell of old paper (possibly from being stored in a basement or attic). These are both very hard to find Danish troll-related items that any Thomas Dam fan or troll collector would be thrilled to find! Don't let them get away, because you likely won't see another set like this again!
    The last photo is of the article inside the Danish magazine. I put the "Do Not Copy" over the photos and text of the article in order
    to try to make it less likely to be copied. T
    hese words will not actually appear on the magazine article you get, they are just on the digitized photo for the auction.
    These items are coming from my smoke-free home, however, they came to me second-hand. So I have no idea what it may have been exposed to over the years. I do not smell smoke on them, but I do notice a slight smell of old paper as though they were stored in a basement or attic. This is not a detraction in any way (and is generally expected with old paper items), but I thought I would mention it, so you are aware.
    Take a good look at the photos for the details, and ask questions if you have any. I think I covered everything, but I am not an expert, and I may have missed something that is important to you. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
    These items are old and have been used and stored, so do keep that in mind when bidding.
