More Information: Unlike the widely produced Dickens’ Village series, the Literary Classics line was short-lived, making pieces like 221B Baker Street especially desirable. It beautifully captures Victorian London and the legendary detective’s residence. Complete examples with figures and box are difficult to find, and values have steadily increased among collectors.
