The tree is one of the first made by Woolworths, which was taken out and decorated every year for over 100 years. It initially cost just six pence.

The tree measures 31 inches and has 25 branches, with twelve berries and six mini candle holders, the Telegraph reports.

It is expected to sell for between £60 and £40 when it is sold at Hansons Auctioneers in Oxford tomorrow.
