Antiques of a Different Sort ...

As I was catching up on my reading, this article from Kovel's Comments caught my eye - Here are the "juicy details"....

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.

Have a Happy Halloween!
