The box containing Napoleon's presumed member, removed by his doctor at autopsy, will not be available at the auction of urologist John Lattimer's collection of curios.

But other curious artifacts will, including a theatrical dagger belonging to John Wilkes Booth, the empty cyanide capsule that Göring used to commit suicide, and the inkwell used to write the Emancipation Proclamation.

Lattimer was a medical officer at the Nuremberg Trials. While chairman of Columbia University’s urology department he was asked by the Kennedy family to "examine X-rays, photographs and other materials from John F. Kennedy’s autopsy," which led him to support the single-shooter theory. (via New York Times)
