I just imagined you sitting in a room staring at a photograph of Basil Rathborne for roughly 20 or 30 minutes. Though honestly I've noticed Petersons seem pretty well represented in movies from a certain time peroid. Or at least what looks like Petersons.
I really don't know..was hoping to learn a bit in this thread.
I already did. It's in riddle form (hey everyone but Cotton1, that's not true just trying to throw him off the scent. Do not let him know this o.k.!!!) and if think about it you should be able to figure it out.
Going to check these links. The ol Google search didn't help me much. Thanks Jim!
Howdy Cotton. Interesting to hear of the movie pipes used as mentioned in this thread. Film stuff aside, I assume you know that in the original stories, pipes Holmes smoked that are mentioned are a straight black briar, an old fashion (1700's) clay pipe, and maybe one or two more. Petersons could well have been invloved though, given their 1865 origin. I've surprisingly never come across anyone trying to push a Sherlock Holmes BLACK SHAG tobacco that he smoked, rather than the various blends that have come out associated with his name. Rathbone was the man!
