Lon Chaney Sr. prosthetic teeth appliances

Sign In to see what this sold for

670. Lon Chaney Sr. prosthetic teeth appliances from his make-up kit attributed to London After Midnight. These prosthetic teeth appliances were originally created by Chaney as part of his arsenal of disguise. Created out of an early form of resin, the front of the teeth have been painted white over the natural burnt orange color of the resin. When examining high quality stills from London After Midnight it is evident Chaney had used black paint between the teeth to accentuate the effect. In our opinion, the sharp points of the teeth have been filed down. To the best of our knowledge, Chaney did not utilize such a set of teeth with these distinctions for any other film. These prosthetic teeth were displayed at the Ackermuseum next to the London After Midnight beaver top hat. $2,000 - $3,000
