Alberta Dentist Adds Elvis’ Crown to His Memorabilia Collection
A dentist from Alberta, Canada, has added a unique item to his bizarre memorabilia collection. Michael Zuk recently parted with almost $10,000 to buy Elvis Presley’s dental crown, which will join John Lennon’s rotten tooth in the dentist’s home.
Zuk acquired the crown from an auction house in the UK and the crown had previously belonged to Henry Weiss, a dentist from Memphis.
Henry Weiss made a number of crowns for ‘The King’ to cover a gap in his teeth that was visible when he smiled. Zuk said he is not sure that Elvis actually wore the crown he now owns, but he is hopeful that it did once grace the mouth of the music idol.
Michael Zuk is delighted with his new acquisition and spoke recently to television crews in Canada. His collection may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he is very proud of the items.
