They had their knockers…but the bottom never fell out of the market.
These saucy seaside postcard designs are being sold at auction today and are expected to arouse firm interest.
Measuring just over 10in by 7in, the risqué 1960s pictures were the work of Phil Millar, who used the pen name Pedro.
They were among a set of 25 originals amazingly chucked away in Calne, Wilts, in 1989 but found by skip firm boss Des Hudd. Des, 69, of Hatherleigh, Devon, said: “I’m a bit of a magpie and thought they might be worth a few bob so kept them in my loft.

“I was always a fan of the naughty postcards and was overjoyed when I stumbled across this pristine collection.”
Colin Such of auctioneers Warwick and Warwick said: “They show how suggestive the humour was in the 60s.”
They are set to fetch up to £50 each at the sale in Warwick. We’re just surprised it’s not being held in Feltham or Oldham...
