By "real" I mean worn by Dorothy (Judy Garland) in the movie.

How many red slippers from the Wizard of Oz for sale are real?
It's hard to say for sure exactly how many pairs ther were, as MGM did not keep specific records. It is also possible that there were pairs that were destroyed, as many of the current authenticated pairs on the market were saved on their way to the incinerator. But it is known that there were several pairs made for Garland, which was a common practice for key props so that if anything happened to them during filming, they could be quickly changed.





But there are many "real" red slippers from the Wizard of Oz that Garland wouldn't have worn. Remember, the Wicked Witch of the East had pair on when she was hit by the house and Margaret Hamilton (Wicked witch of the West) had a pair on when she flew past the window on a broom (in the sepia colored scenes). Also, Garland's double Bobbie Koshay would have had several pairs made for her.





So in the end, there would probably be quite a few "real" ruby slippers out there that were actually involved in the production of the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz.

Reply:There was only one pair, and it is on display in the Smithsonian Museum. Any others you see for sale are replicas.
