Then and Now
If you have ever visited the Bristol County Superior Court House in New Bedford, the site of the Lizzie Borden trial, you will find the second floor court room pretty much as it was in 1893. The room is still in tact even if the jury box is now on the opposite side of the […]

Nance
This photo of the stage and film actress Nance (pronounced Nancy) O’Neil, comes up on eBay from time to time, always, so far, for a starting bid of $75. It is a lovely image, but the seller’s description is not to be taken as fact, i.e. there is no proof whatsoever that Lizzie Borden and […]

Blast from the past
While we all wait for the Maplecroft books to sell, I thought I would share with you an eBay gem. In 2003, on eBay of course, someone sold a mantle clock that they said was from the Borden house. It was supposedly still spattered with the blood of Andrew’s murder. Here is the description, typos […]

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”.

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 […]
In the shade
Pretty postcard.
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 […]
