D23 Mine Train Details

More details about the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train have been released this weekend during the D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center. On display is a model of the Fantasyland expansion with a 3-dimensional look at all of the new attractions including the forested hillside in the center of it all.

1937 Snow White Clothing Tag

This unique piece of Snow White history is a circa 1937 tag for "Snow White Cotton Prints" manufactured by ABC Fabrics. Card measures 2 3/8" x 4". Now I'm curious about just what the article of clothing or fabric looked like that accompanied this tag.

Thai Postage Stamps

These 2010 postage stamps from Thailand are referred to as "Personalized Stamp Sheets". Only the heart-symbol stamps are considered actual postage. The Snow White images are decorative or "personalized" stamps licensed through the Thai Postal Service. Personalized stamp sheets are issued for festivals, VIPs, and other significant occurrences...including at least one classic Disney film.

The Disney copyright symbol is visible at the lower left along with Thailand's Postal Service logo. Note that several of the Snow White illustrations are the exact same ones used in the recently-released 2012 75th anniversary commemorative calender.
