We received an email recently from Matt, a military officer from the Defence Academy in Shrivenham, asking if we might be able to help him find some props for a Sherlock Holmes themed murder mystery evening he was hosting.
He was looking for an inkwell, a typewriter and various Victorian bit and pieces to fill the centre of a table as the focal point of the room. He would have looked himself but he was very busy at work and couldn’t make it into the shop. So we had a look around and it didn’t take us long to gather up some items which we thought might fit the bill.
