A special movie prop from 1939 is going up for auction


NICK EICHER, HOST: A rare piece of movie memorabilia will soon go up for auction.

It is from the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz. Perhaps you can guess what it is.

This particular item was one of five used in the film. It was given to actor Jack Haley after the film wrapped. Here’s a hint:

CLIP: (squeeks) My goodness, I can talk again!

If you guessed the Tin Man’s costume, you’re close, but that’s not it.

CLIP: Did you say something - (mutters) - He said oil can.

It is the Tin Man’s oil can.

You could be the proud owner of this piece of movie history, but only if you’re getting a REALLY nice tax refund this year.

The bidding will start at $200,000. Talk about high prices for oil!

It’s The World and Everything in It.
