MEMPHIS, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- The family of a Memphis dentist is putting the King of Rock and Roll's porcelain crown up for auction on eBay next month.
A press release from the family of Dr. Henry Weiss, who was Elvis Presley's dentist until 1971, said the model of Presley's teeth and the porcelain crown will be offered -- along with a letter of authenticity signed by Joe Esposito, Elvis' longtime road manager.
The eBay auction will begin Jan. 8, 2007, which would have been Presley's 72nd birthday.
The letter from Esposito says Weiss always kept an extra crown on the model of Elvis Presley's teeth in case he chipped or cracked his crown. In February 1971, Elvis cracked his crown on a microphone while performing in Las Vegas.
Esposito said Weiss' son, S. Lewis Weiss, flew a replacement crown to Las Vegas.
