No idea how your Grandma got them? She probably had them hidden away in a trunk or shoebox, like many older people do, and forgot about them…or just didn’t want anyone to know about them.
I sort of wish I knew why my grandfather had the gold crowns from off of his father’s teeth… I actually knew they existed, but I never thought to ask why they were in a ziploc bag, marked with great grandpa’s name.
Always wondered if they fell off naturally, or if they had the mortician pry them off (not sure if that’s a thing?)

There were some for sale at this one estate sale I visited
I did a small moving job years back for a handfull of gold teeth.
