1940s Biscuit Tin from Italy

This Italian biscuit tin, manufactured by Enrico Pagliarini of Romano di Lombardia, probably dates from circa 1940. It doesn't look to be an officially licensed Disney product, and yet the two dwarfs on the side-panel are clearly Grumpy and Sleepy. Also pictured on the tin is a Snow White with recognizably Disney-esque shoulder sleeves. Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, and Felix the Cat fill out the other sides. Measures approximately 8" x 4" x 4".
