A large doll that bears an uncanny resemblance to Boris Johnson today sold for more than £52,000 - after it was saved from the bin.<br />
<br />
The 2ft German boy figure with blonde hair and blue eyes was made in about 1910.<br />
<br />
It originally belonged to the vendor's grandmother.<br />
<br />
When she died 30 years ago the doll was passed down to her daughter who kept it on her sofa.<br />
<br />
One day to her horror her pet chewed off its right foot.
