This item was in Borden's home from 1897-1927, and was previously prominently displayed at the Lizzie Borden Museum in Fall River, Ma. from 1995-1999. Sold with a signed certificate of provenance from George E. Quigley, former curator of the Lizzie Borden Museum and Maplecroft Museum. In very good, working order, with little wear. A truly unusual find!<b>$600-800</b>
