Last week, we posted our most recent HolmeWork assignment and asked for your help in determining if the Sherlock Holmes Memorabilia Company had produced a medal. Roger Johnson, the 48th Garrideb, reached out to us with comments about a keychain that had a medallion-like fob. I also received a note from Ron Beck with the above two photographs. Ron had grabbed these two photos a few years back off of an listing on a major online auction service. So, we have now have confirmation that this medal exists.

OBVERSE: THE SHERLOCK HOLMES / (right facing bust of Holmes, smoking a pipe and wearing deerstalker cap) / MEMORABILIA / COMPANY

REVERSE: VICTORIA / (left facing bust of Queen Victoria) / QUEEN

38mm, Brass, Round
