Lizzie Borden for Sale on Ebay!

I have seen it all—portraits of women being passed off as Lizzie Borden who obviously are NOT Lizzie Borden. They have been advertised for years and I have quite a collection.

Today, on eBay, is the best of the worst. Here is what this person considers to be Lizzie Borden AND her father Andrew.

“Infamous” accused axe murderer “Lizzie Borden” EXTREMELY RARE Studio Portrait Just found and identified is what we have to offer you.

Stuck to the back of the cardboard matting of her portrait was another portrait from the same studio with identical cardboard matting. We believe this to be her father “Andrew Borden” whom Lizzie was accused of murdering alongside her mother as well. She was subsequently acquitted of both murders and till this day remains one of the most infamous and hanous homicides in American History.

THE STUDIO PORTRAIT OF THE “INFAMOUS” LIZZIE BORDEN WAS DISCOVERED ATTACHED TO WITH WHAT WE BELIEVE IS TO BE AN EARLY PORTRAIT OF HER FATHER.

And yours for a starting bid of $2,800!

Oh, and note how the photos were taken in Germany. Perhaps they have a Lizzie and Andrew Borden there too!

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.
