Most expensive false teeth sold at auction

A set of dentures that once belonged to wartime British prime minister Winston Churchill sold for £15,200 ($23,700) to an anonymous bidder on 29 July 2010. The auction was organized by Keys fine-art auctioneers in Aylsham, Norfolk, UK. The sale price was three times the estimated price. The dentures were specially created for Churchill to preserve his characteristic lisp, a familiar feature of his wartime broadcasts. They were sold by Nigel Cudlipp; his father, Derek Cudlipp, was the dental technician who had originally constructed the teeth for Churchill.
