Following the recent arrest of a second suspect in connection with the theft of the iconic ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, the shoes worn by Judy Garland are set to be auctioned off. The slippers, which were stolen from collector Michael Shaw, were returned to him during a private ceremony at the Judy Garland Museum. Shaw had originally loaned the pair to the museum in 2005, only for them to be stolen a week later.
After nearly two decades, Shaw has decided to entrust the famed slippers to Heritage Auctions, who will showcase them on a global tour with stops in Los Angeles, New York City, London, and Tokyo. The auction is scheduled to take place in December, with Heritage Auctions expressing their gratitude for the opportunity to handle such a significant piece of Hollywood history.
