Made in America roughly 200 years ago, this authentic Vampire Killing Kit came stocked ready to battle bloodsucking creatures of night with stakes, mirrors, a gun with silver bullets, crosses, a Bible, holy water, candles and garlic. Housed in an American walnut case with crosses carved in the top, it recently sold at auction for $14,850.

Well, it looks pretty cool but i doubt its not a fake, this kind of kits are a lot of times made using antique stuff mixed to create them... look for example at this one... http://alexcf.com/blog/?page_id=141 much better isn't it?? at least its maker do not want us to believe that its real.
