EBay has this unique Lizzie item:

Definitely one of a kind.

Note the typo on the year, 1982 instead of 1892.

Pardon me... But ick.

If I wanted that I could make one that suited me better and no where near the almost $200 (not a bid in sight) price!

Gotta second that ick, Auds! I always hated woodburning. Calling it pyrography doesn't make it any more attractive.

Well, it certainly is unique!!
("Pyrography" suggests to me a proper fate, perhaps: Set the thing alight and burn it!)

LOL. Well, Lizzie could have used it in the stove to heat those flat irons.

It was probably done by some 11 year old with a wood burning set he got for Christmas.

Yuck. And I don't know why they think it's Lizzie. The hairdo looks more like Carry Nation to me.

Just saw your thread on this, Harry. I'm glad I was still able to see it. It's really awful. Very hard to believe it's worth $550.

Made by an 11 year old with a kit he got for Xmas?? That's hilarious! And could be true!

I thought it might be a knife rack that Lizzie owned. I don't know why anyone would actually use this in their home ... I guess that's why it's up for sale.
