Ghost of Lizzie Borden Doll

There is a new item up for bid on eBay that has a few problems. No disrespect to the artist, whom I am sure was trying to do her best—but the creator of this Lizzie Borden doll apparently used a photo to help her detail the face that is not Lizzie Borden, but the now infamous “man-hands” Lizzie. It is a shame that she created it from this photo, especially since the artist is asking for a starting bid of $750 for her work.

She did a very good job of reproducing the face in the photo. Too bad the face is not that of Lizzie Borden. Lizzie’s nose is much more narrow and petite.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
