A vintage vampire hunting kit recently caused a bidding war. This very unique item was discovered by an antique store and they say it’s from the mid-1800s. The kit comes in a wooden violin-shaped box, with a red interior, and contains two wooden stakes, a large mallet, a crucifix, a Belgian pistol, a prayer book, and a
glass bottle for holy water. The craziest piece is the dagger
topped with a carved zombie priest holding a mallet. Rust spots
on the dagger are rumored to be blood. Dozens of anonymous
bidders pushed the final selling price to $3,000.
