The story begins with Holmes handing Watson some items he extracts from a tin trunk full of old case files, so I put the clues inside this old tin box. It’s the only one I haven’t painted black.All of the clues together; Sidney Paget illustration inside lid.Young Sherlock laid up with a dog bite to the heel.All solution envelopes are sealed with a honeybee wax stamp – natch. (Holmes eventually retired to be a beekeeper.)Half-faded tattoo; Penang lawyer walking stick with lead poured into handle; brass cylindrical container sealed with red tape.
