Just returned from a 10 day trip and this is one of the things we saw. What do you think it is? Attachments:

George Washington's wooden false teeth. Very good Barney, Those ARE George Washington's false teeth but contrary to popular myths he Never had wooden false teeth but instead had these which are made of of human, cow, and horse teeth as well as elephant and walrus ivory. The "framing" in which the teeth are set is made of lead, silver, possibly brass. The teeth are among the most popular items on display. The dentures required frequent adjusting to function naturally so they were sent to his dentist in New York very often to have the adjustments done. This full set of George Washington's dentures are on display at the Museum and Education Center at George Washington's home, Mount Vernon, Virginia. This is one of the places I toured while visiting family in the D.C. area, something I have done multiple times a year for over 50 years. Love the city, my favorite place to visit and much of what there is to see is free.
