Some of these items are really not so unusual. There
are companies that will "personalize" mousepads, pins, magnets,
keyrings, mugs, coasters, T-shirts, etc. with any photograph you provide. Below are examples of such items, plus some more unusual items.

A Sherlock Holmes tie tac, made of pewter, one
inch tall |

A plastic coaster
(4 x 4 inches) |

A plastic switchplate cover made from a
"Son of Frankenstein" poster |

Sherlock Holmes pins, 1 inch and 1.5 inches wide |


3 x 4 inch magnets picturing Sherlock Holmes
movie posters |

A mousepad featuring the poster from "Sherlock
Holmes Faces Death" |

A keyring made from a "Hound of the
Baskervilles" poster |

These are Christmas ornaments, but could also
be used as keyrings. The one on the left is made from a "Son
of Frankenstein" poster; the center one shows Rathbone and
Tyrone Power ("The Mark of Zorro"); and the one on the
right shows Rathbone and Errol Flynn ("Adventures of Robin
Hood"). |

This is a photocopy of Rathbone's Social
Security Application, dated January 29, 1937. |
