Of note
Notes Lizzie Borden Society Forum member, book collector, and author Michael Brimbau, on the six Maplecroft estate books up for sale on eBay this week: “Too bad the Lizzie books up for bid are not books of value in their own right or an author of interest or desirability such as Poe, Twain or even […]
Gorgeous
Young Vintage B&W Elizabeth Montgomery photo. Check out this Vintage B&W photo of the late great actress Elizabeth Montgomery, probably taken in the late 50’s, pre-“Bewitched”. Her radiant beauty and screen magnetism catapulted her to international fame in the 1960’s as the beautiful suburban housewife Samantha Stevens, a smart and funny witch, married to a […]
And only a buck
I see this Lizzie related item on eBay all the time, but you can’t beat the price here of one dollar. Captain Spalding souvenir Trading Cards Devils Rejects. These are a gimmick for the film House of 1,000 Corpses, trading cards from Captain Spalding’s Museum of Monsters and Madmen. The deck includes: S. Quentin Quail […]
Under the category of Eeeww
I am drawn to it, yet I am repulsed by it. Inappropriate kitsch, yes. Will sell for more than the starting bid, probably. But oh my gosh, look at the shipping fee! Lizzie Borden Police Photo dead father Paper Weight. Oh my, there are two of them for sale!. But the second one is half […]
Unique new york
This is a neat find. 1961 Lizzie Borden photo book release print ad. I have never seen one like it before on eBay. But then I have only been a member since 1998. This is an original 1961 print ad for Simon and Schuster publishers, promoting the new Edward D. Radin book, “Lizzie Borden: The […]
Lizzie – Dickinson connection
William Schley-Ulrich tells me that the inscription pasted above the Maplecroft seal in this eBay sale Nancy Stair- Elinor M Laine Owned by Lizzie Borden 1905 is from Emily Dickinson. It is a lovely poem, don’t you think? And if you know anything about the life of Dickinson (1830-1866), it has a bittersweet connotation. THERE […]
Mug
I have one of these and it is my favorite coffee mug. As a matter of fact, I am using mine right now! I like that it is light in weight yet sturdy. I hate really heavy coffee mugs. This sale, LIZZIE BORDEN Mug from actual home Fall River Mass is nice and inexpensive at […]
eBay’s new way to shop
I don’t know if you have seen this, but eBay has yet another way to find and buy interesting items. They call it eBay Express | An exciting new way to shop. They have a few Borden items listed, but I am sure as the traffic increases so will the items for sale.
Panarizon Lizzie
This sale on eBay, RARE Vintage Panarizon Life in American History Cards, includes the hard to find Lizzie Borden card, sometimes seen on eBay by itself. The Lizzie card alone sells for $4 – $6. This set has a starting bid of $9.99 with lots of choices for mailing.
Highly recommend
I bought one of these Lizzie Borden Took An Ax Scary Victorian Poster and I love mine. The quality is superb (heavy stock paper) and the artwork is magnificent. The starting price is only $6.99, but the BuyItNow price of $14.99 is a deal. Also check out this seller’s (Madame Talbot) eBay store for more […]
Two more books
Two more books that were supposedly owned by Lizzie are on sale on eBay. Same seller. Right off the Chest- Revell Owned by Lizzie Borden 1923 and Nancy Stair- Elinor M Laine Owned by Lizzie Borden 1905. These two bear the Maplecroft seal, which, according to my sources, is a good indicator of ownership by […]
Lizzie’s Houseplans?
Says the auction title: Lizzy Borden Mansion. Orig. Blueprints. One of a Kind. Only $3000! Not an auspicious start to a very expensive offering when they get the spelling of the main character’s name wrong! Lots of errors in the listing too. See if you can spot them. Up for auction is a piece of […]
And another
Bud- Neil Munro Owned & Initialed by Lizzie Borden 1st. A note on provenance from our client: “I recently purchased 6 books that had belonged to Lizzie Borden from a local woman who is personally known to me. She is the daughter of a man who was Ms. Borden’s chauffeur in her later years. As […]
Not Lizzie Borden
It all started with a stolen sign. On March 17th, 2006, a seller on eBay, one leejeansct (powerseller) put up for sale one Lizzie Borden B&B metal street sign. From their auction ad: Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum Mass Metal Sign. There really is a bed & Breakfast with Museum, located in Fall River, […]
Same seller, more books
The same seller of the other two supposed Lizzie owned books is selling a third one, this one likewise signed by Lizzie, they say. I like this one a little better as it has the Maplecroft seal on the signed page. Starting bid, $10.99.
Plot thickens
The story gets better on the Lizzie signed book mentioned below and in this sale on eBay. Someone wrote the seller and they posted the reply in the auction ad. Q: can you provide me a signed letter from you stating that this is from her estate please so I can bid on the book? […]
eBay Buffet
A few eBay offerings for your consideration and debate: 1. V.V.s Eyes- Owned & Initialed by Lizzie Borden, 1913. This is the same seller who has another supposed Lizzie-owned book for sale on eBay. The appearance of this one makes me wonder about the provenance of the other. The initials on this one are very […]
Owner of Maplecroft selling his limo
Saw this today on eBay and recognized it immediately as Mr. Dube’s limo, usually parked outside of Maplecroft so it gets into everyone’s photos of Lizzie’s former house. Dube is selling it now for only $4995. Here is the link: 1986 Other Makes : London Sterling Limousine. 1986 White London Sterling Limousine with Gray Interior. […]
