Once more with stakes?

Several years ago, a vampire killing kit sold on Sotheby's for $12K.

Not to be outdone, there's another one:

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 in the new Natchez Convention Center

The auction site has more pictures of the contents, including the stakes, pistols and bound Bibles.

damn! that thing is GORGEOUS (lunacy of what it is notwithstanding). A stunning piece that anyone would be proud to own and show off!
