This buy it now auction is for a complete set of Chad Valley Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves comprising the complete set of cloth and felt dolls produced in 1938.The dwarves each have the Chad Valley cotton makers labels marked Hygenic Toys Chad Valley.
Snow White wears her original white silky appearance dress which anecdotal information suggests is a rarer colourway than the more often found blue and yellow dress.She has a pressed felt face as do the dwarves all of which have hand painted faces.She wears a black wig and has a swivel head,jointed velvet body and has cream felt shoes.
The Dwarves all wear the felt outfits in seven contrasting colours and wear belts and felt boots.As per the 1937 film they all have beards
Except for Dopey.
Although describing condition is subjective I would rate the overall condition to be good Snow White being especially good and although there are subtle differences in condition of the dwarves they too are good and a couple are especially good.With the exception of two they they have their belts,all have their hats and shoes.These are made of felt.The colours despite some light fading (more noticeable to some of the dwarves hats) and general wear still have reasonably strong bright colours.One of the dwarves with orange shoes has stitching undone on his ankle.This and 23 photographs are supplied.
