a good guess mass1961 but i think the first holmes novel was writen in 1887 "a study in scarlet" thanks for having ago at it

on googling the first time the pair met it says january 1881
yes by a dresser . iether the question is wrong or its giant red herring
both of which this quiz is capable of
if its the latter i,ve havent got a clue what the real answer is
your most probably right but if any body looking in has a clue
would like to put any thoughts forward it will be appreciated
