Oz Balloon Pin
Take flight with this pin based on a W. W. Denslow’s illustrations from the original 1900 printing of L. Frank Baum’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.”
In Baum’s 1908 novel “Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz,” the Wizard reveals his full name, Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs. However he prefers using only the initials of the first two names “OZ” as the later seven spell “PINHEAD.”
He explains, “On my balloon and on all the other articles I used in the circus I painted the two initials: ‘O. Z.’, to show that those things belonged to me.
One day my balloon ran away with me and brought me across the deserts to this beautiful country. When the people saw me come from the sky they naturally thought me some superior creature, and bowed down before me. I told them I was a Wizard, and showed them some easy tricks that amazed them; and when they saw the initials painted on the balloon they called me Oz.”
