Sherlock Holmes Stamp Pendant & Tin.

Trying out another design today.





If you've seen my icons before, this is one of my faux stamp icons that I never got around to posting. The design is based on a real 1887 British stamp.

It's about the size of a real stamp, around 1" high.








Bonus bit of canon geekery:





The tin whose corner was visible in the last pic is "from" Bradley of Oxford Street. I figured if Watson gets his cigarettes there, he might as well get his pipe tobacco there, too. Yes, I know there's a clothing store nowadays at that address. It wasn't there 110+ years ago was it? So there :-P I picked those numbers for a dorky reason anyway.

The bulldog image is from the c.1879 book British Dogs.

I misplace about one of my beloved little tins a year what with transferring them from one bag to another, so here's hoping I'll hang on to this one a little longer :-)
