In England, A partial set of British wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s gold-mounted dentures has fetched over three times the estimate.
The false teeth, specially designed to disguise Churchill’s lisp, were sold by the son of the technician who was commissioned to make them.
They had been expected to make a maximum of 5,000 pounds. By the time of the sale the dentures sold for 15,200 pounds or the equivalent of $23,770.
The buyer, a collector of Churchill memorabilia from Gloucestershire, also owns the microphone with which Churchill announced the end of the war in Europe in 1945.
