Nanumi Bae: Vintage Steel Housekeeping Toys by Wolverine

Wolverine Toy of Booneville, Akansas was licensed by Disney, circa 1970, to produce a line of metal housekeeping toys featuring lithographed images of Snow White and the dwarfs. The set included a stove, refrigerator, sink, and iron with ironing board.

NOTE: Illustrations of a kitchen cabinet and a clothes washer were also shown on the cardboard packaging for these toys. However, I have yet to locate or confirm that these two toys were actually part of this Snow White-themed set.
