"Rotten Tooth of John Lennon"

 

The rotten tooth of former Beatle John Lennon will go on auction next month. The mouldy molar is expected to fetch over $16,000 when it goes under the hammer in the UK on November 5. The nasher was apparently removed by a dentist after becoming cavity-ridden. Lennon then gave the tooth to his beloved housekeeper Dorothy "Dot" Jarlett at his old Kenwood home in, Weybridge, Surrey. Dot gave it to her daughter who kept it in her home in Canada for 40 years, say the auctioneers. Dot's son Barry Jarlett, said that his 90-year-old mother conceded that it was finally the right time to pass it on to a fan rather than run the risk of it getting lost. Omega auction house is taking care of the sale. Pictured: Tooth that is said to have once belonged to John Lennon
