A rust-covered enamel sign that was used to advertise BP in the 1920s has sold for over £10,000 after being rescued from a skip.<br />
<br />
The 40in by 28in piece had spent several years in its owner's shed and looked destined to be tossed out before being salvaged.<br />
<br />
As part of a clear out they took the piece to be valued by a specialist along with a number of other items.<br />
<br />
It sparked a bidding war, selling for ten times its £1,000 estimate.
