False Teeth

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-303 -- More Projects »

Host Ralph Kovel discovers an unusual collectible at the Metrolina Expo in Charlotte, N.C.--antique false teeth!

Sometimes the most unusual items make great collectibles.These antique teeth are made from rubber.

Here's an early set of dentures from the 1800s. They have a rubber base and were put together in sections.

These "tools of tourture" were called "dental keys," and were used to pull teeth.

The most expensive dental key in this collection is the oldest, made by a blacksmith and selling for $1,500.
