Late Beatle’s molar has a reserve price of £10,000.

A tooth formerly belonging to John Lennon is to be auctioned on November 5.

The ex-Beatle’s molar will be sold at the Omega Auction house in Stockport, and has a reserve price of £10,000.

The tooth was given to Dorothy Jarlett when she worked as Lennon’s housekeeper at his home in Weybridge between 1964-1968.

Jarlett’s son said that his mother, who is now 90, feels the time is right to find the piece of the icon a new home.

Asked who might want to buy a 45-year-old tooth, Omega’s Karen Fairweather said: “We get a lot of people buying memorabilia as investments, or it could just be a fan who really wants a part of John Lennon.”
