A 19TH C VAMPIRE HUNTING KIT

An incredible Victorian novelty. Complete in mahogany box with revolver, silver bullets, garlic powder, silver dagger, ivory cross, mirror, Professor Blomberg`s New Vampire Serum, wooden stake, etc, etc.

The bullets was manufactured-by one Nicolas Plomdeur, gunsmith from Belgium. Plomdeur participated in the Great Exhibiton in 1851, London, Comes with instructions on use and original pamphlet on vampires by Prof Ernst Blomberg. Small 8:o, 19 pages.


The theories behind this kit are several!

Sold at The Great Exhibition in London 1851!
Sold at some Central European Hotels 1850-1900!
Sold as sovenirs at Bram Stokers copyright readings of Dracula in London in the late 1890:s!

A similiar kit was sold at Sotheby´s a couple of years ago for $12000, that lot lacking the original book/pamphlet!
