Handbag found in garage valued at £3,800

[Still Waters]

A handbag found during a garage tidy-up which was thought to be "junk" is set to be sold for thousands of pounds.

When sisters Linda and Margaret Pritchard, of Denbigh, Clwyd, found the damp bag during a clear-out they earmarked it for the tip.

However, it turned out to be a 105-year-old Art Deco gem made entirely from gold.

It is now set to go under the hammer at an auction next month and fetch up to £3,800.

However, Linda, 61, admitted: "It almost ended up in the tip."
