Chaplin's tramp suit on sale

The original tramp suit worn by Charlie Chaplin in the film that shot him to fame will go under the hammer today.

The iconic scruffy black jacket, waistcoat, trousers and bowler hat donned by the comedian for the 1914 short silent movie Kid Auto Races at Venice are expected to fetch up to £2,000.

A bamboo cane signed by London-born Chaplin in 1952 is also among the lots on sale at Plymouth Auction Rooms.
