The 1992 Sherlock Holmes Lives On Medal

“Here is an advertisement which will interest you.”

Peter E. Blau, the 13th Garrideb, was kind to respond to last week’s HolmeWork assignment, and has provided us with a scan of Classic Specialities’ advertisement for the Sherlock Holmes Lives On medal. This ad appeared on page 36 of the Summer 1992 issue of Scarlet Street. We now have a visual of what the medal looks like.

OBVERSE: SHERLOCK HOLMES / (right facing profile of Holmes wearing a deerstalker cap and smoking a pipe) / LIVES ON

REVERSE: (blank)

Round, 57 mm, Cloisonne

From the advertisement, we learn that the medals were manufactured in England and sold for $18.

We are still on the hunt for a better picture of the medal.
