Nance O’Neil Color Card
A lovely color photo postcard of Nance O’Neil is for sale on eBay at the moment. Starting bid is $45 but the card is quite nice. As you know, Nance O’Neil was a stage and early film actress who had a friendship with Lizzie Borden. The auction ad reads: As an actress she was the […]
Lizzie’s Bust
You know it is Halloween time when eBay explodes with very kewl items for your perfect scary party or house decor. Here is a great item—a carved bust of Lizzie Borden, measuring roughly 31″H x 22″W x 5″D. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t exactly look like her—what counts is they tried, and I think, […]

Passion of Lizzie Borden
The late poetess Ruth Whitman published a collection of poetry in 1973 and titled it The Passion of Lizzie Borden. It is a very nice book and since Lizzie is in the title, and one of the longer poems in the book is about Borden, it is a fine addition to any Lizzie Borden collection. […]
Not Lizzie Borden
UPDATE: auction ended early on July 22. No other details than this from eBay: “The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.” This just popped up on eBay, but don’t let the auction fool you. This is NOT Lizzie Borden of Fall River hatchet murder fame. It might […]
Porter
This reprint of the 1893 classic by Porter is a good buy on eBay if you can grab it for under $35. The starting bid is only $15. There are a lot of them out there, but a deal is a deal, so if you can snag it for cheap, do it. Edwin H. Porter. […]
Knowlton Papers

Lizzie in the Library
This auction is for a book that is quite interesting but if you wish to read it I would suggest that you Interlibrary loan it for free. It really isn’t a book to buy at a premium as it is a very short reference work that is only 18 pages long. Starting bid is $49.95 […]
Signs
There are two interesting signs on sale on eBay related to Lizzie Borden today. This one Primitive Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Sign, is an original piece, which makes it ultra cool in my book.

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 […]
