The Man Who Bought Napoleon's "PRIVATES!"

I ran across an article about the famous Urologist, Dr. John Lattimer, who once purchased Napoleon's penis for $40,000.00.

When the doctor died in 2007, he was 92 years of age. His daughter, is the one who originally came across Napoleon’s penis, neatly hidden away in a briefcase. Which just so-happened, to be stored under the doctor’s very own bed. Apparently he had originally purchased the mummified penis, to retire it from it’s former freak show status. From the moment he purchased the penis, he refused to let anyone see it. Not even his family was of aware he owned it. Now how amazing is that? I guess this man was quite extraordinary, and love off-the-wall, weird oddities. Therefore, he must have took great pleasure and enjoyment out of some of these truly unique purchases of his. It is my understanding, if item was of some great historical significance, Dr. Lattimer was the man who would purchased it. He was like a modern-day era, living Ripley's Believe it or Not, kind of guy.

• Other Neat Stuff Found Tucked Under His Bed

Dr. John Lattimer was famous for being the first, nongovernmental personnel, given a medical assignment that included his active involvement, on the medical team working behind the scenes during the Nuremberg trials. He was an attending urologist to Nazi prisoners at the Nuremberg trials and had acquired Herman Goering's suicide vial.

Dr. John Lattimer also possessed, Abraham Lincoln's bloodstained collar, letters written by Lee Harvey Oswald, and a treasure trove of items from his own idiosyncratic relationships to some of the most important historical events of the 20th century. It can be easily said, that Dr. Lattimer was continuously at the right place, at the right time. He even worked on the autopsy of John F. Kennedy and possessed upholstery from the president's limousine car in Dallas.
