Churchill dentures sold
Updated at 6:19 pm on 30 July 2010
A partial set of dentures belonging to Sir Winston Churchill has been sold for 15,000 pounds ($NZ30,000) at auction.
The gold-mounted false teeth were specially designed to disguise Sir Winston's lisp.
The buyer, a collector of Churchill memorabilia, also owns the microphone with which Churchill announced the end of World War II in Europe in 1945.
