This curious vampire slaying kit was sold on eBay as an was apparently genuine 19th Century kit. Naturally, it was made in Transylvania.
Rather brilliantly, the vampire-slaying kit contained contains everything a vampire slayer would need:
Bottles of holy water
Syringe for injecting liquid garlic
A 13.1 inch beautifully encrusted knife
An old Bible
Several wooden spikes
A hammer (for the stake)
A cross
It all came in a vintage metal box and suffice it to say the item received several bids. I would have been massively tempted if I had found this before it was sold.
