6 Knit-Poleon Creator Identified

I am pleased to say our 6 KnitPoleon creator has come forward to let me know who she was. 

Turns out she creates these custom built key rings to order and sells through her 
face-book page/shop "SID KEY RINGS".

She has a large array of variety from zombies,cats,mustaches to penguins but within reason will turn her hand to personal requests to create something even more exclusive or elaborate. 

Bet she could make a mini Sherlock Holmes one if you asked her nicely. 

I again would like to say a big thank you for this very kind gift and her own generosity 
will be rewarded with a choice from a selection of Holmes pastiche books.

Six Knit-Poleons

Sew, what I have got to show you today? 

Well following on from Howards Holmes made Shoelock shoes, yesterday in the post I received a rather interesting package from a fan of NPLH containing 6 home made knitted Napoleon Key Chains! 



The package contained little more than this and a note saying "Six Napoleons For You".
So I am afraid I can not give you the name of the creator of these wonderful handcrafted items although I think I might know (My address is available in the back of The Story and Scripts Behind NPLH - feel free to stalk me.) 

For those unaware, The Six Napoleon significance is of course relevant to me as it is the scoring system I use for my book reviews inspired from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes story "The 6 Napoleons" which revolves around 6 Napoleon Statuettes and a missing pearl.

Are you the hobby craft Holmesian behind these? If so get in touch and let me know
as you have won yourself a prize.

I couldn't NOT share this one...

Behold!!! Howard Ostroms self designed "Sherlock Cons". 




He had these specially made up by Jenny Foreman  who runs "Custom Converse" and specializes in creating custom made shoes.

Shoe'd you fancy a similar pair yourself?

Ostrom Acquires Osborn

We have a new Holmes in the TV Section of the "Howard Ostrom Holmes and Watson Autograph Collection" with Andrew Osborn. 

Osborn portrayed Sherlock Holmes in a 1951 BBC production of the Conan Doyle tale "The Adventure Of Mazarin Stone" - A 30 Minute TV movie. 

Osborn was a prolific actor of the 30's and up to the end of the 1950's when he spent the rest of his career as a producer and director.




Osborns Doctor Watson was played by Philip King  whom we are still trying to track down both a photograph of him as Watson as well as an autograph. 

As always if anyone has any ideas of how to source either of these Howard and myself would love to hear from you.
