Lizzie Borden Autograph?

A new eBay listing “Lizzie A. Borden Autograph Display 8×10 Rare Autograph Display!!” caught my eye. Starting bid: $400! Check it out!

A very rare signature of Lizzie A. Borden, professionally matted together with a black and white photograph to an overall size of 8 x 10 inches. In excellent condition .

Lizzie Borden was born on July 19, 1860.She is known as an american woman accused of killing her father and her step-mother. The elder Bordens were hacked to death with an ax on Aug. 4, 1892. Although Lizzie Borden claimed that she was out in the barn at the time, she was accused of the murders and tried. The trial, which aroused great public interest, ended with a verdict of not guilty. The case was never solved.She died on June 1, 1927.

Only problem is that this isn’t Lizzie’s photo and it isn’t Lizzie’s signature. Hmmm. Wonder if this is the first time she has been confused with the woman she was accused of murdering?

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.
