<b>351. COWARDLY LION COSTUME RELIC </b>A terrific relic from the classic film The Wizard of Oz, namely a healthy lock of hair recovered during the conservation of Bert Lahr's "Cowardly Lion" costume worn during the filming of The Wizard of Oz. The lock is comprised of approx. 60 strands of tan, brown and black African lion hair presented in a suede and faux bamboo mat and frame with a small brass plaque reading "<i>Original lock of The Cowardly Lion's hair from `The Wizard of Oz' Metro Goldwyn Mayer, 1939</i>", with a color photo of Lahr in costume set above the lock. This fine film relic was originally offered in Christie's sale of film memorabilia, "A Century of Hollywood" which also offered the complete Lion's costume. A rare relic from the most popular family film of all time.<b> $1,200-1,500</b>
