On 1 February 1957, Sabrina was wise enough to ensure the tools of her trade against shrinkage - for £100,000.

It was reported later by the Sunday Gleaner

The press blurb on the back reads:

1-2-57. SABRINA INSURES HER FAMOUS BUST - FOR £100,000.

SABRINA who made a name for herself as a "dumb" blonge [sic] -- with a big bust - has insured that bust for £100,000. She has broken away from the dumb tag and is now making records and personal appearances as a singer etc..
KEYSTONE PHOTO SHOWS:- SABRINA 'measures' her bust for insurance purposes - this afternoon. JSS/KEYSTONE. TF/667449.

It wasn't the seller's fault: it was packed well. The package had got soaked somewhere between Serbia and Melbourne and mould had started blossoming on the surface.
