1952 Snow White Paint Book, Whitman 678:10
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Paint Book, no. 678:10. Produced by Whitman Publishing Company, 1952. "© Walt Disney Productions." Dimensions: 11" high x 8" wide.
The same illustration is pictured on the front and back cover.
The Whitman "Authorized Edition" featured images partially filled in with red highlights. Other editions have been seen without the red coloring.
A rather unusual copy of this coloring book was seen for sale on the UK ebay site. It included numerous duplicate pages, several of which are in full color. It's possible that multiple coloring books were combined; it is bound together with three large staples along the right side. Maybe this was some kind of mock-up.
The title page features a blonde Snow White and reads, "Adprint London. Published by arrangement with Western Printing and Lithographing Company, Racine, Wisconsin USA. Made and printed in Great Britain by Robinson LTD. London."

1967 Metal Tea Sets by J. Chein & Co.
J. Chein & Co. of Burlington NJ produced several Snow White metal teas sets circa 1967. The "Big Value Tea Set" included a larger serving tray (10" x 7"), three large plates, three regular plates, three large cups, and a tea pot (which was made of plastic). The suggested retail price was $2.49.
Examples found on ebay. Yellow bottoms.
Most cup bottoms were yellow, although some blue have been seen. Note the two-handled creamer cup.
The "Fairy Tale Set" had a smaller serving tray (5" x 7"). It came with three regular size plates, three blue saucers, and three yellow cups. SRP $1.29.
Original box.
Photos of two sets are shown on page 6 of the 1967 Snow White theatrical re-release Merchandise Supplement which was included with the pressbook.
It's probable that other sets were also produced by J. Chein & Co., which may explain the blue-bottom pieces and the two-handled creamer cups.
