It would be the highlight of the Vancouver, Canada-based Cult Collectibles store, which also sells Dahmer's personal Bible and flatware. This would be the second pair of Dahmer glasses the shop has sold; according to TMZ, it already sold another pair to a private buyer for a hefty sum.
In addition to other stuff like flatware, letters, personal photos, a bible-yes, a bible-and more, Taylor is in possession of Dahmer's prison glasses. James connected with Dahmer's father's housekeeper to collect the evidence of the murder.
The housekeeper will receive a portion of the revenue from any sales of the Dahmer memorabilia made by Cult Collectibles in exchange for the memorabilia.
A Canadian collector hoping to cash in on revived interest in the Milwaukee cannibal’s deadly exploits — courtesy of a new Netflix series on Dahmer — says he’s willing to part with the eyeglasses for a price, according to a report by TMZ.
Taylor James, who owns Vancouver-based Cult Collectibles, told the outlet he got his hands on Dahmer’s glasses from the killer’s dad after his son was beaten to death inside a Wisconsin prison in 1994 — part of Taylor’s vast collection of Dahmer paraphernalia.
Dahmer’s father, Lionel, agreed to have Taylor manage the merchandise for a cut of the profits, the morbid collector said. Other items in The Dahmer Collection include the killer’s prison Bible for $6,000, his urn, which sells for $250,000, and a fifth-grade class picture up for sale for $3,500.
Dahmer brutally tortured and killed 17 boys and men between the late 1970s and early 1990s — eating or preserving the body parts of some of his victims.
The grotesque killings are the subject of the controversial new Netflix series, “Dahmer: Moster — The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” which has sparked new interest in the serial killer.
