Old shoe

Charlie Chaplin's iconic outfit - bowler hat, tattered shoes, and jacket worn to the seams 's was sold for 4,500 euros at a Devon auction last week.

Chaplin wore the sartorial tramp ensemble during his breakthrough role in the 1914 "Kid Auto Races." Plymouth antique dealer John Cabello bought the costume, which is now displayed in his store window. Whether Cabello secretly dresses up in the suit for a tap dance after store hours, we can only wonder.
