Sherlock Holmes Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) Costume
There really couldn't be a true Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) without his Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce). Though many have danced the "Holmes" fable since, there never will be a another team like Rathbone and Bruce. And besides their amazing skills as actors to create characters that forever burn in our souls and imaginations, they made sure we knew exactly who they were by their iconic costumes and props. From Holmes Deerslayer hat (later a Donegal), Inverness coat, and briar meershaum calabash pipe, to Bruce's tweed suits, dress bow tie and vests. This is one of Bruce's early Warner Brother series screen used grey-cream colored vest with beige back. Includes the original United Costumers Inc. label inside with "Nigel Bruce .1." written in it. This vest would have been worn by Bruce starting in his very first 'Holmes" feature at Warner's "Hound of the Baskervilles" (1939).
