Overview
- Bidding will take place online and at Heritage Auctions’ Dallas headquarters on December 9 and 10.
- The wool hat measures nearly 14 inches tall with a 19.5-inch brim and features a 22-inch elastic chin strap used during Hamilton’s flying scenes.
- Costume designer Gilbert Adrian selected this version after an earlier hat was deemed insufficiently menacing for the character.
- The sale also features a Judy Garland–signed Wizard of Oz book with additional cast autographs and Toto’s paw prints, a handwritten letter by L. Frank Baum, and an organza blouse worn by Garland.
- Two Dorothy slipper items are included: a right-foot rehearsal shoe worn by Garland and a 50th‑anniversary replica produced by Western Costume Company.
