An original set of saucy seaside paintings found in a skip in Wiltshire 20 years ago have sold for more than £2,000 at auction.
The 25 cheeky paintings by Phil Millar - known as Pedro - were the original designs for a set of postcards, which were popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
> The owner of a skip firm, Desmond Hudd, discovered the 19cm by 27cm images in one of his skips in Calne in 1989.
Mr Hudd, who runs the firm with his wife Barbara and now lives near Hatherleigh, Devon, decided to keep them safe.
The postcards sold for a total of £2,250 including premium today at a Warwick and Warwick Auctioneers sale, in Warwickshire.
One postcard features a blonde woman being asked at a job interview: "I want a girl used to handling tools, and not afraid of getting a bit dirty."
Another features a large woman being prodded by a man using a garden hoe.
A spokesman for the auctioneers said: "They sold well because they were the original artwork for the saucy postcards, and he was a well known artist.
The spokesman said they had seen plenty of postcards but never seen the original artwork, so it was a unique find.
