A battered storage box a dad bought for £12 from a junk shop is set to sell for thousands of pounds - after it turned out to be a rare Louis Vuitton steamer trunk.
The dad bought the vintage luggage in 1984 for just over £10 which he then gave to his daughter who was moving into a flat. He paid £12 for the trunk from a bric-a-brac shop in village of St Margarets, near Twickenham, London.
The daughter, Melissa, stored sheets and linen in the trunk for years before realising its true value. Melissa took it along to the Antiques Roadshow last year and was stunned to learn it was worth thousands.
