Wicked Witch's Hat from The Wizard of Oz Up for Auction

On November eleventh, fans of The Wizard of Oz can bid on a piece of cinematic history: Margaret Hamiltons iconic Wicked Witch hat, designed by Adrian Adolph Greenburg. This hat, used in memorable flying scenes, was a replacement for the original, deemed not scary enough. Joe Maddalena of Heritage Auctions compares it to Dorothys ruby slippers, highlighting its significance. The auction, on December ninth and tenth, features more than just the witchs hat, including a signed Wizard of Oz book, two versions of Dorothys ruby slippers, a handwritten letter from Frank Baum, and Judy Garlands organza blouse. With a pair of ruby slippers selling for twenty-eight million dollars last year, these items are expected to fetch high bids. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
