At least seven pairs of the Ruby Slippers were made for the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. Four are accounted for. One is on permanent exhibition at the National Museum of American History in D.C. Three are owned by private collectors David Elkouby and Philip Samuels. Additionally, two other pairs of Ruby Slippers were made for, but never used in, the film. One is a curled toe pair owned by actress Mary Frances ka Debbie Reynolds [b. April 1, 1932]. The other is a curled toe pair owned by Richard Thorpe [February 24, 1896-May 1, 1991].
The Good Witch of the North gave Dorothy the shoes of the Wicked Witch of the East.
I believe they are in the smithsonian institute!
Glinda the good witch.they originally came from the wicked witch of the east.
The Ruby Slippers were worn first by the Wicked Witch of the East and then by Dorothy Gale, in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. In the original book, and in the 1902/1903 stage version, by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the shoes are Silver Slippers. But those involved in the making of the film found the silver to wash out in comparison to the riotous colors in their Technicolor production. And so red was the color of choice.
Priceless. Only one pair exists. The other pair was stolen and never found.

Silver is the color of the shoes in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. That's the title of the original book version by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. But the shoes aren't silver in the 1939 film, simply due to the fact that the producers wanted the slippers to stand out, so they were made Ruby.
