Well, there is yet another Lizzie item for sale on ebay, and this time it is a doozy. (IMHO). As a note of disclaimer, I am not the seller, nor do I know the person doing the selling. I post it here for you reading pleasure.



"The President of the International Lizzie Borden Association, and Curator of The Lizzie Borden Museum and Maplecroft Museum has finally decided to part with some of his collection of Lizzie Borden Artifacts! I have been fortunate enough to purchase some of them! Offered today for auction is a Silver Plated Cup inscribed "Emma" that was found at Lizzie Borden's home from 1893- 1927. She named her residence Maplecroft. Emma was Lizzie Borden's older sister that lived with her from 1893-1905. This cup was on display at the Lizzie Borden Museum from 1995 to 1999. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity verified by George E. Quigley, President of The International Lizzie Borden Association and Curator of the two Museums. He is a noted Authority, Educator, Author and Lecturer.

The cup is 3 1/4 inches wide and 3 inches high. It has Emma's name inscribed on it. It is marked Manufactered and Satisfaction guarrented by Knickerbocker Silver Co. 69, High grade.There is also an extended arm with a hammer in it with the letters MFT under it. Truly a unique collectible! A must for any Lizzie Borden fan! "

That didn't work.  Looks like it only takes images directly
from URL's and FTP sites.  Nothing on our hard drives.

The attachments works okay tho.

I wonder why Emma would have left her cup behind.

That might depend on whether it's real, and Who might have given it to her...
