Title: Vampires Beware Post by: Allhallowsday on October 29, 2008, 11:13:21 PM Vampires Beware
Watch out, Dracula--a collector paid $14,850 for a c.1800 vampire-killing kit at a Mississippi auction earlier this month. The kit is complete with stakes, mirrors, a gun with silver bullets, crosses, a Bible, holy water and, of course, garlic, all neatly arranged in an American walnut case. It sold at a Stevens Auction Company sale. http://www.kovels.com/issues/newsflash/1_114/news_news_news/3013-1.html?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=%2Fissues%2Fnewsflash%2F1%5F114%2Fnews%5Fnews%5Fnews%2F3013%2D1%2Ehtml&utm_content=allhallowsday%40yahoo%2Ecom&utm_campaign=Kovels+Komments+%5BOctober+29%2C+2008%5D%3A+Saving+Halloween+Decorations (http://www.kovels.com/issues/newsflash/1_114/news_news_news/3013-1.html?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=%2Fissues%2Fnewsflash%2F1%5F114%2Fnews%5Fnews%5Fnews%2F3013%2D1%2Ehtml&utm_content=allhallowsday%40yahoo%2Ecom&utm_campaign=Kovels+Komments+%5BOctober+29%2C+2008%5D%3A+Saving+Halloween+Decorations) Title: Re: Vampires Beware Post by: Newt on October 30, 2008, 07:42:04 AM Love it! Now I want one...maybe I can mock one up. (Minus the gun) If it was 'used'/incomplete, i.e. pieces missing, it might seem more realistic - which would cover for the bits I cannot reproduce. It would be fun just to have it sitting in a corner as a conversation piece. I have the perfect battered wooden case somewhere around here. I smell a project coming on!
Hmmm...have to wonder if there is a market for modern versions: Vampire killing kits, Zombie killing kits, Werewolf killing kits. Given the shows on TV lately, someone must have cashed in on that by now? Title: Re: Vampires Beware Post by: raj on October 31, 2008, 05:59:05 PM Silver bullets are for the Wolfman, not vampires. And I bet the garlic is stale by now. Still, might not be a bad thing to have on hand.
Not that vampires exist. I think. |
