Bag an original East German Disco poster

Salvage experts Trainspotters have dug up a real gem from the former East Germany - a batch of colourful posters for a long-forgotten club.

The club was called Disco and the posters were found in a former Kulturhaus. All are unused, said to be 'excellent to mint condition' and are dated to 1976. Details of the designer aren't known.

The remaining stock has been framed and being offered for sale - you can pick up one of the 61cm x 84cm posters for £210.
