| | Guardian | Chaplin moustache may fetch £5,000 |
 | | Bessy, who died in 1993, went on to become a critic, screenplay author, artistic director of the Cannes film festival and the biographer of many stars, including Chaplin. |
 | | Chaplin showed his gratitude with a personal memento, the Little Tramp's toothbrush moustache, possibly the one he wore in Modern Times, since Bessy also owned his cane from that movie. |
 | | The moustache's value is estimated at up to £5,000, and the cane at up to £12,000. |
