Public Auction of Churchill's Teeth

A bidding company has announced its intention to hold a public auction of the teeth of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Cotswold Auctions clarified that a set of artificial teeth worn by Winston Churchill during his "We shall fight on the beaches" speech will be auctioned next month, according to the British newspaper, The Guardian. The gold-fitted dentures are expected to sell for between £5,000 and £8,000 when they go on sale in Cheltenham on February 6. Liz Pole, director of Cotswold Auctions, stated, "Churchill's dentures must be among the more unusual items we have ever sold."
