Fall River Sign Sells Big

An auction on eBay recently exceeded its estimates. It was for an original advertising sign for the Fall River Line.

Fall River Line material usually brings in the bucks, as you have a mixed bag of collectors: Fall River Line, transportation, Fall River, 19th Century, etc. This item was an unusual piece and in very good shape considering its age. It was estimated to bring in $500 and pulled in double that. If I were a rich man . . . .

Another Fall River line item on sale now that caught my eye is this very good condition copy of the sheet music for the song “On the Old Fall River Line.” Now there is a song that can get into your head and torture you by not letting you go!

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.
