A complete and authentic vampire killing kit, circa 1800 and housed in a walnut case, sold for $14,850.
Natchez, Mississippi ~ A complete and authentic vampire killing kit — made around 1800 and complete with stakes, mirrors, a gun with silver bullets, crosses, a Bible, holy water, candles and even garlic, all housed in a American walnut case with a carved cross on top — attained $14,850 in the Jimmy Pippen estate sale by Stevens October 3–4, 2008 in the new Natchez Convention Center.
The sale comprised the contents of Pippen's stores (Pippen Antiques and Pippen Interiors), items from his personal residence (which he considered a perfect creation and called "Paradise"), the contents of another home (a three-story, 1850s townhouse called "The Orchard" that he restored with fine appointments and rented out) along with other treasures from several warehouses.
Hmmm. I wonder if this kit would work on werewolves too?

I have never seen anything like this before!! What a find!!
That's fascinating! Have you been watching Alan Ball's "True Blood?" I'm addicted to it.
Just what every girl needs in her armamentarium! Such a great find Rosemary - I always come away from Content having seen something fascinating & learnt a little more.
Thanks for agreeing to the kitchen challenge, I'm not one for tagging either, but this one looked fun, except of course when it back-fired on me & I had to fess up my shocker!
