When John Lennon pulled out one of his own teeth at home in the late 1960s, he gave it to his housekeeper as a souvenir.
Now it’s up for auction – and experts reckon it could be yours for around £10,000.
Dot Jarlett was working for the Beatles icon when he pulled the tooth at his home, Kenwood, in Surrey.
Her son Barry tells the BBC: "
He was in the kitchen and he had this tooth which which he wrapped in pieces of paper. He said, ‘Dot, will you dispose of this?’ Then he said, ‘Or, as your daughter is a Beatles fan, you can give it to her as a souvenir.’"
"My mum gave it to my sister, who kept it safe.
"He was very generous to my mother. He treated her like family, because he didn’t really have a very big family, and he really looked after my mum. He used call her ‘Aunty Dot’."
Omega Auctions will sell the tooth on November 5 in Stockport. A spokesperson says there’s a chance it could go for six figures.
