Murph has sent me links to two really cool 19th century scrapbooks on Ebay this week. The first, Morbid 1886 Murders Horrible Deaths Scrapbook, is 156 pages of newspaper clippings about "murders, suicides, horrible accidental deaths and just about anything having to do with death and dying." The seller counts over 700 clippings, each a portrait in horror, pasted in the book by some sick bastard with lots of spare time.

The second, another scrapbook from the same seller, is over 100 pages of newspaper clippings from the 1894 baseball season, with articles about the labor situation, "killing the umpire," throwing a curveball ("some people are foolish enough to doubt that it can be done"), and plenty more. They both look fascinating and tempting.

Speaking of strange and wonderful items for sale, there's a fine site called Who Would Buy That? features a constantly updated selection of bizarre items on sale to the highest bidder.
