As the media write, Churchill lost several teeth in the 1920s. During World War II, the then British prime minister had several false teeth. They were specially made to preserve the politician's natural lisp. His dentures were made of gold.
As Winston Churchill's dentist Derek Cudlipp said, the former prime minister had bad teeth and bite since childhood.
A gold-framed denture is currently valued at between 5 and 8 thousand pounds ($10 thousand), but experts believe that the teeth of the famous Prime Minister will be sold for a much higher sum.
“Churchill's false teeth appear to be among the most unusual items we have ever sold.” , said the head of The Cotswold Auction Company, Liz Poole.
The denture that will be auctioned was made at the beginning of World War II, when Churchill was 65 years old.
In addition, the auction will also include other World War II memorabilia, including the microphone used by the former British Prime Minister to deliver his VE Day speech on May 8, 1945. Its estimated cost is from 5 to 8 thousand pounds ($10 thousand).
Also available for sale will be a 1941 autograph book filled with 107 signatures of Royal Air Force pilots, many of whom took part in the Battle of Britain. The book can be purchased for an amount starting from 20,000 pounds sterling ($25 thousand).
