A MUST HAVE DISPLAY PIECE FOR WIZARD OF OZ COLLECTORS
Order now for end of September shipping
Everyone will remember the scene at the end of "The Wizard of OZ" where Dorothy is to be taken home by the Wizard in his Omaha State Fair hot air balloon.
R. John Wright Dolls, Inc. was featured as one of the meal events at the UFDC 75th Annual Convention. The theme was "There's No Place Like Home" to commemorate 75 years of doll clubs. It was held in Kansas City, UFDC headquarters. In keeping with the theme we created a special portrait Dorothy-"Going Home" and a very limited edition of a felt Hot Air Balloon.
This magnificent balloon measures 25" tall from top of balloon to bottom of basket. It is constructed of all wool felt and molded into a rigid hollow balloon shape. It is artistically airbrushed to match the one in the film. Metallic bands and wooden pegs secure the strings that attach the balloon to the hand woven basket. The connecting ropes are reinforced with copper wire for rigidity so the balloon can be displayed without being hung.
Each Hot Air Balloon comes with a certificate of authenticity.
