Dopey Tees and Tops...and some Grumpy

The Disney marketing team always pushes both Dopey and Grumpy merchandise more intensely than that of the other dwarfs ($$$). Grumpy t-shirts are by far the most plentiful, but Dopey is runner up. In fact, it's quite the challenge sometimes to find a dwarf t-shirt that doesn't feature one or both of the dynamic duo.

Grumpy and Dopey youth t-shirt, $14.99 (USD).

A couple months ago we looked at a boatload of Grumpy shirts. Now it's Dopey's turn, though there aren't nearly as many. These next two tees were sold through the Disney Store last year...

1938 'Snow White' Dairy Pitchers

These glass containers were part of the great Snow White dairy promotions of the late 1930s. The wrap-around design depicts Snow White and the Dwarfs with names below. Each milk pitcher stands approximately 9.5" tall and is marked with "© W.D." Produced by Libbey Glass Company. They came in different colors including yellow, blue, white, red, orange and possibly more.

Earlier this year, Hake's sold a two-tone version of the blue pitcher, the first they'd seen in their 46 years of business...

Tap-A-Way Metal Art

Box Lid. Measures 12.5" x 17.5".

The Snow White "Tap-A-Way Metal Art" set was produced by the Naylor Corporation, circa 1938. It consisted of a collection of eight thick laminated cardboard plaques, each with a foil metal sheet applied to the top which displayed one of the character images. Also included was a spring tapping tool. This was used to give the plaques "Effects Similar To Hammered Copper."

This particular set was unused and sold in auction by Hake's for $172.50 (USD)...

Images and info via Hake's.

Collector Rick Payne recently found another example of the set where all the plaques have been tapped. We get to see what the finished product is supposed to looks like; it does kind of have the appearance of hammered copper.

Disneyland "Enchanting Musical" Apple Box

Collector Keith Hively recently came into possession of this medium-sized blue velvet box with ornate, old-looking metal corners. On its lid is a large Disneyland "D".

When you open it, inside is a wooden replica of the poisoned apple from Snow White. Printed across the face are the words, "Snow White - An Enchanting New Musical".

An Enchanting Musical was a Snow White stage show that ran back in 2004-2006 at Disneyland (see earlier posts). The apple and box look to be a promotional set, possibly produced for opening night or some VIP press event around the premiere.
