A chance purchase of a film tin for £3.20 on eBay has unearthed a previously unseen Charlie Chaplin movie which could be worth up to £40,000.

Collector Morace Park decided to buy the battered container because he liked the look of it and did not even open the parcel for a while after it arrived.

When he did, he noticed the title of the movie, Charlie Chaplin in Zepped, after unrolling part of the film.

The find has caused a storm among experts and features unseen footage of Zeppelins flying over England during World War I, as well as very early stop-motion animation and outtakes from Chaplin films.
