I have been collecting trolls for decades and have never come across anything like this troll store display. It has changed hands a couple of times in recent months and is now with me because I didn’t want it to be parted out, as it is such a rare find. There are no markings on this display other than what you see at the top of the card. Each troll has its original mohair, and they all look like Scandia House trolls due to the spiral eyes. Each troll is in its own plastic baggie held closed with a staple. One troll was removed due to an insect making its way inside the baggie. The display came to me with the trolls that you see pictured. The peach haired troll in the lower left hand corner had what appeared to be a tiny dried up nest? If you would like to see a photo, just ask. I was able to slide the troll out of the baggie and easily comb the substance from decades ago out of the hair; I didn’t see any damage. I inspected all of the other trolls to the best of my ability without removing them from their baggies. We know what moths can do to mohair, but there is no evidence of any damage. I tugged on the mohair through the baggies, and each pelt appears to be in one piece and attached inside the skull as it should be. There is nothing alive in this store display! There are no bad odors like cigarette smoke, mildew or moth balls. All of the trolls look great with the exception of the following. The red-haired troll has a pinkish looking face which at first I thought was just the hair on the face, but it looks like some dye may have bled onto the face. The blue haired trolls usually have dye transfer, but the 2 in this set don’t have much, just a little at the neckline. The yellow haired troll has a yellowish tinge that runs into the chest. Several of the trolls have the black tipping on the ends of the hair which is typical of Scandia House Enterprises. I see a few random dots on a couple of the trolls, not a big deal. I know it’s hard to see through plastic, but please take a look at the magnified photos, as they are an important part of the description.
