Gold-mounted false teeth worn by Sir Winston Churchill have been sold at auction in Cheltenham for £18,000.
The upper dentures were worn by the wartime leader during many of his most famous speeches, including the “We shall fight on the beaches” address.
They were specifically made to preserve his natural lisp and so important he carried two sets with him at all times.
The Cotswold Auction Company said the teeth were “snapped up” for more than double the £8,000 guide price.
Not enough teeth of famous people are auctioned. Untapped market possibly, but someday I hope to collect all my hero’s teeth.
Who’s teeth are on your wishlist you Celebrity Tooth Fairy you?
Aaron Judge original set before the upgraded chompers.
Maybe Tom Sellecks too but I want the mustache with them, you know …to tickle my friends and family with.
Seems fair.
