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 […]
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 […]

Lizzie on my mind
I ran across this January 3, 2005, blog entry by the author Andrea Seigel, author of To Feel Stuff and Like the Red Panda. It is a thoughtful story about how Lizzie Borden haunts her thoughts and creative life. She describes in vivid detail her reactions to the Lizzie Borden Had an Axe documentary that […]

German Youth Axes Parents in Lizzie Bordon Copycat Slaying
“Intrepid reporter” found this on the web. “Ordered to stay at home and chop wood, instead, he grabbed an axe and battered his father, Guenter, 63, to death. Then he hacked away at his mother, Rita, 42, as they lay in bed.” I tell you, the youth of today are such cut ups.
Highly recommend

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 […]
Lizzie Borden in Antartica
Well, not the person Lizzie Borden. The boat Lizzie Borden. In a children’s book by Wolcott Gibbs titled Bird Life at the Pole by Commander Christopher Robin. The book was published in 1931, soon after Lizzie’s death. From a recent eBay auction description: THE BOOK IS A VERY HUMOROUS AND RISQUE THINLY DISGUISED SATIRE ABOUT […]

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.

Wagner’s Opinion
In an interview with Crime Historian E.J. Wagner on Laura James’ Clews blog, the author of <a href="Science of Sherlock Holmes responds to a question put to her about Lizzie Borden. In Science of Sherlock Holmes, you neatly highlight the forensic failings of the medical examiner in the Lizzie Borden case. I noticed you cited […]
