My Wizard of Oz CollectionA little background info......
Frank L. Baum's immortal classic, The Wizard of Oz was best brought to the big screen in 1939. This extraordinary film starred the young Judy Garland in her most famous role of Dorothy. Whisked away to the enchanting Oz by a tornado with her little dog ToTo, Dorothy went through an adventure of a lifetime involving good and evil witches, the Munchkins, the Wizard of Oz himself and many other interesting and unusual characters....
And you know the rest! Here are a few screen shots from this 1939 Classic:
About my Collection:While my main hobby is collecting retro handheld and tabletop games, I do enjoy collecting some "retro" Wizard of Oz" items too. My collection consists of mainly autographed items by all or some of the key cast members and non-key members too (Charles Grapewin/Uncle Henry and Clara Blandick (who committed suicide eventually)/Aunt Em), original US and foreign lobby cards which were displayed in theatres where the movie was playing, a pocketwatch owned by Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow) and a few other neat items. It's as if I just watched the movie again yesterday.........Enjoy CLICK on the Wizard of Oz Item to see a Picture of itOr Scroll Down the Page to See All of Them
