A vintage vampire hunting kit in Florida has sparking a bidding war online thanks to its massive size, rare artifacts and tiny zombie priest carving.
The kit, which dates back to the mid-1800s, was discovered by Zev Antiques in Hallandale Beach, just north of Miami, and listed on Live Auctioneers, where dozens of anonymous bidders staked the price at $3,000.
Antiques artillery expert Vlad Krechmar, who joked that his true name was “Vlad the Impaler” after the blood-thirsty Romanian legend, told The Post that the coffin-shaped kit was “most likely a violin case customized to hold all necessary items” for a swift kill.
That includes Vampire 101 items like two wooden stakes, a giant crucifix and a Belgian pistol that Krechmar said could hold lead bullets “coated with various potions” to murder the (usually) immortal monsters.
The kit, which weighs 11.4 pounds, also comes with “spiritual items” like a prayer book with Latin verses, a glass-blown bottle marked for holy water and a wooden mallet branded with a burnt cross, which Krechmar explained was used “to stake the body to the ground!”
