These are the two plaster casts (upper and lower) used to create the Muhammad Ali's mouthpiece. The casting from the lower jaw includes a pencil notation at the bottom that says "Ali, Aug. 6-71." Both appear to be in perfect condition, and given the characteristics involved - meaning a precise imprint from the legendary fighter's mouth - would seem to possess just about the most impeccable provenance you could ask for.
Plus, there's an LOA from the Dundee Family.
