Adriana Caselotti Snow White Clock

This Snow White clock comes from Brian Sibley who received it as a gift from Adriana Caselotti back in 1988, the year following the release of his Making of the Classic Film book. The clock is inscribed to Brian, and during a recent correspondence, he shared this anecdote about Adriana and her generous spirit...
As you know from the photo I sent you (and the fact that I own a clock) all friends (and a lot of acquaintances) were given such things. She kept a stock of clocks which were dismantled and signed on the face and put back together during your visit! And she SOLD sets of photos via her own primitive mail order service. She may have made a few dollars from fans who just wrote to her but I never had to buy any, and to best of my knowledge, anyone she got to know more than casually were given the 'full set' all signed. Certainly over the years she sent or gave me many versions as well as signing them for friends of mine, and on one occasion, my Mum! :)


Inscription reads...
To Brian Sibley, You are magnificent! I wish you a continued beautiful and successful life. Love, Adriana Caselotti, Voice of Snow White, 1988.
