'Wizard of Oz' witch hat to auction for $3 million
The Wicked Witch's famous hat from the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie is hitting the auction block on December 9, 2025.
Heritage Auctions thinks it could fetch over $3 million, starting at $100,000.
What makes this hat extra special? It still has its original chinstrap—the one used for those unforgettable flying scenes.

This isn't just about the hat—there's also a Walt Disney-signed photo and a Scarface screenplay up for grabs.
The hat was acquired in 1970 from David Weisz, whose company conducted the legendary MGM Auction that year, and still shows some wear from filming, like glue marks under the brim.
Heritage Auctions previously made waves selling Judy Garland's ruby slippers for $28 million, so Oz memorabilia is definitely having a moment.
