1. A 35-ft long muslin sock.
2. Poisoning from aluminum dust that got in his lungs (part of the original Tin Man makeup that was later changed to aluminum paste).

Yes, but remember, this was 1939. Safety, like a lot of things, was very rudimentary back them.
BTW: Trivia Questions:

1. Do you know what the tornado really was?
2. Buddy Epsen was originally supposed to be the Tin Man, but had to drop out. Do you know why?

Wow… I did NOT know that. Seems the production company, MGM - a prestige outfit, certainly no "poverty row" entity - should've taken steps to see that that never happened.

Agreed!

Yes, she was a hell of a great actress, and a real trooper!

Me too!
And she was
a trooper!
Did you know that she was badly burned in one scene where the witch disappears in a flash of fire and smoke? She had to be off the production for several weeks while her burns healed.

Highly effective, too. Scared the hell out of me as a kid.

And she was
great
in that role!

She only got the role because the original actress didn't want to work in ****ty conditions.

I remember those commercials.

True. I bet she was a great person to work with on set.
BTW, she did a commercial stint up here in the U.S. back in the 1970s, playing "Cora" on Maxwell House coffee adverts:

She had a great sense of humor too and it comes across loud and clear in that video!

That's such a great video clip, because it tells a lot about her. She could actually be a very charming lady. I've seen her act in other things, both before and after
The Wizard of Oz
, and you would never believe it was the same actress who played the Wicked Witch.

She's from when they were actors and not just 'stars'. So cool!

She's great
