The Ruby Slippers From The Wizard Of OZ

Over 70 years ago Dorothy tapped the heels of these shoes together and returned to Kansas from OZ

 

The ruby slippers are the shoes worn by Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz. Because of their iconic stature, they are now among the most treasured and valuable of film memorabilia. As was customary for important props, a number of pairs were made for the film, though the exact number is unknown. Five pairs are known to have survived; one pair was stolen in 2005 and has never been recovered
