A very funny item has appeared on eBay—-Lizzie Borden Hatchet Grease—this one required ingenuity and creativity to craft. It is a good hoot and a half to read! One thing, however. The seller is using a photo of the Gray’s Portrait Studio “Lizzie”—which has been deemed by experts not to be her!
So, this auction is funny for several reasons—but probably not the reasons the seller intended.
Custom labeled antique bottle. Stopper not included. Bottle shipped empty and not cracked, chipped or split, but interior may exhibit signs of age. Will make a wonderful addition to your cupboard, apothecary table or theme collection.
Lizzie Borden Hatchet Grease – Lizzie Borden (July 19, 1860 – June 1, 1927) was a New England spinster who was acquitted of the brutal axe murders of her wealthy father Andrew Borden and stepmother Abby Borden at their home on August 4, 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts. No one else was ever tried, and Borden was ostracized for the rest of her life. Even after her death, she has remained an infamous figure in American folklore. The slayings, trial, and surrounding media circus became a cause célèbre. The notoriety of the case has endured in American pop culture and criminology as one of the most celebrated incidents of the Victorian era. Dispute over the identity of the killer continues to this day. Bottle is 6.5†tall.
