It's one of the bizarre phenomena of the 21st Century that anything owned or even touched by celebrities get auctioned.
In November 2010 John Lennon's molar tooth sold in Stockport for £19,500 ($30,276). Winston Churchill's false teeth, ashtray and cigars have also sold at auction in recent years.
On the other side of the Atlantic, an eye patch that John Wayne wore in the 1969 movie True Grit sold for $47,800 (£30,793) last year.
But perhaps the most bizarre category of memorabilia is food. Whats more interesting is that for eight years, a seaside cafe in Cornwall has hosted an experiment exploring this obsession by displaying the food left behind by public figures.

A slice of French toast nibbled by pop star Justin Timberlake, complete with syrup and plastic fork, sold for $1,025 (£660) on eBay in the US. Bubble gum spat out by Britney Spears, and a bottle of beer half-finished by Kurt Cobain, have also found new owners.
In the UK, television presenter Kate Garraway's half-eaten banana sold for just shy of £2,000 ($3,104) - though it was signed.
