Mine and Bill's latest creation, an original custom 'toy' of our own:
The Hound of the Baskervilles Two Pipe Problem Gift Set!
Card art by Bill, pipes sourced by me.
Elementary!
Astounding Holmes!
That Glowing eyed dog just makes it perfect!
Not sure a 'two pipe problem' actually means smoking two different pipes, but I love the 'tie in' toy idea.
I love this - your best 'vintage toy' custom yet. I probably read all the Sherlock Holmes stories a few decades ago. Why so few actual Sherlock Holmes toys ?
