Chad Valley works, founded as an offshoot of venerable board and card game maker Johnson Brothers, was known throughout the British Isles as a maker of high-quality dolls. King George VI and his wife Elizabeth were among the brand's fans, and Chad Valley earned a Royal Warrant. This recognition aided their landing of a coveted license from Disney to be the UK producer of a series of dolls for SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, the studio's first full-length animated film. Now among "the most collectable toys in the world" (The Woolworths Museum), the Chad Valley SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS are a beautiful example of deluxe official Disney merchandise. This Bashful doll is illustrative of their excellent reputation. Among the earliest of Disney merchandise film tie-ins, these are rarely found in their original box.
