Humpday Triviola

A side note...we decided to make roast beef for Thanksgiving last week. First of all...it was great! But a couple of family members wanted turkey so I roasted a turkey breast. I took it out early, measuring the temp at 5 degrees short of done so that it would complete cooking...just as always. None the less it was so dry that I almost needed my band saw to cut it. But I would never have done that because it would have dulled my blades! On to the question:

In the late 1950's a Danish woodworker made something for a family member that later became an iconic item. What was it?

Another WAG

Four of my Five children were born from 1956 to 1962 and I am trying to think of something we didn't have then that is now iconic and a childs safety seat for the car pops into my feeble mind.

Could they be kin to one of the Thanksgiving icon? Thanks for the question

Last Hint

The woodworker was a carver and what the iconic thing he made is now made of plastic.

3 out of 5

Ken had three letters out of five right.

They used to be found under the bridge.

But that was before the Dam.

Are you talking about those hairy little troll dolls ? My sister had a bunch of them when I was a kid. She made all kinds of clothes and accessories for them. They came back around in vogue a few years ago.
