$500.00 Reward, claim it by letting us know who once owned these False Teeth
Here is everything I know about these Antique Dentures: About a week ago I picked these antique dentures up from a client. She wanted me to sell them on her behalf, she asked me if I thought I could figure out what they were worth. I of course said, “Sure.”
I thought it would be easy. I thought “No Sweat.”
Well it isn’t going to be easy…That’s why I am offering a $500.00 reward. Did I mention that I am willing to pay the sum of $500.00 for conclusive information leading to the identity of the original wearer of these golden teeth…?
Well I am.
The present owner of these, my client, is a 90 year old woman from Australia, who once operated a pawn shop there along with her husband.

My theory is that these beauties once belonged to former Saudi Arabian King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud.
He reigned from 1953 to approximately 1964.
I first thought maybe they were the choppers of a prince but then it donned on me that he was probably King by the time all of his teeth fell out! I also suspect that the Royals who came after him probably began receiving better dental care…you know…with their $500,000 monthly stipends and all.
The Saudi Royal family is well known for their opulent lifestyles. If you look closely at the published pictures of the family you will often see similar colors to that on these dentures.
The design is also very characteristic of the Saudi’s and the Middle East in general.
My hunch is that the boys were partying it up in a foreign hotel and he left them behind….waking up the next morning not able to remember where he had been the night before!
The hotel maid got hold of them, and passed them down to her grandchildren…and now Martin has to find these puppies a good home.
So there ya have it. I can not prove it…so I sure won’t win $500…but I had fun! Thank you to Martin for a little antique adventure!
Good Day,
I am contacting you in regards to the set of “Falsies” on your website, and would like to knowingly identify the owner of this remarkable set.
Although you may not have any evidence of these teeth belonging to this person, I can tell you that you were right on target……it indeed was a Prince that owned them….Prince himself. (well, the artist formerly known as) The beautiful scribing on the gumline is obvious of Prince’s flair, as well as his trademark insignia. The story goes like this:
Prince was in Australia for a concert some years back. As he cozied up in hotel room for a mimoso and apple / vanilla bath, there was a knock at the door.
Who was it you ask? Dick Clark.
Dick Clark was on vacation in Sydney and had heard the P-Man was in town. This would be the first time Dick Clark had seen the “Little Bastard” since the original airing of Prince’s network debut on American Bandstand.
Although Dick Clark shrugged off Princes unresponsiveness in the interview, he always had a deep hatred of him and awaited for the right time to pay him back for the embarrassment.
Prince asked whom was at the door, while peeking through the peephole. Before Prince could speak the final word in that phrase, Dick Clark kicked the door down, all the time yelling, “Open up”. Shocked by the intrusion, Prince stood speechless while Dick Clark went on a tirade Clark W. Griswold would have been proud to have expressed.
Dick didn’t even give Prince time to respond before he punched Prince with a tremendous roundhouse. Prince’s set (Shown above) flew out of his mouth, through the open patio doors of the hotels 13th floor room, and into the street.
For this reason, I have never told any “Chuck Norris Jokes” – I refer to these types of jokes as Dick Clark jokes, as the man kicks some ass.
The set of teeth had circulated for years after that, moving from one area of Australia to another, getting traded for pints of Fosters.
By the way – Prince LOVED Jellybeans. Hence the Grill.
So, feel free to send me over the $500 – although I may lack “official documentation”, you can trust me – really. Okay – just send me $100 and well call it even.
Regards,
Jason Hilbert
Its G. Washington`s gold false teeth
It is Tamerlan
It is quite possible that this set of false teeth belong to Amir Timur. She wanted so far. It is known that he had a golden jaw but was lost with time. Pattern and performance in the Oriental style.
It is cat ))
winston Churchill?
Seriously, there are so many avenues… but.. they are a bit like things I have seen from the pillaging by the Nazi’s in WWII. Australia was a bit of a “safe Haven” for war criminals… Maybe that is an avenue to go down??
one more….. Czar of russia! I bet they are Russian!
I believe these were owned by famed entertainer Wladziu Valentino Liberace who lost them while snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef on holiday. Apparently he was searching for pearls off shore when he was approached by a curious Great White shark who mistook his sequined wetsuit for the scales of a large tuna. In Liberace’s struggle to reach the surface, he concurrently lost his precious ivories and managed to reflect the surface light off of his sequins. This not only scared off the shark but could be seen from space. I believe this is true to the amount of $100.
