Real Vampire Hunting Kit

I assure you the picture above is real. The vampire hunting kit was sold in 1851 at the Great Exhibition in London. Complete in a mahogany box, this kit included a revolver, silver bullets, garlic powder, silver dagger, ivory cross, mirror, Professor Blomberg`s New Vampire Serum, wooden stake, etc. The bullets themselves were manufactured by Nicolas Plomdeur, a gunsmith from Belgium.

At Sotheby's, this kit sold for $12,000. I guess the buyer had some vampires to slay and wanted to make sure he had the good stuff. - Story from:quixoticals.com.
