Vampire slaying box
A Victorian vampire-slaying kit has sold for £7,500 to an unknown buyer at an auction in North Yorkshire.
The 19th Century box contains a crucifix, pistol, wooden stakes and mallet, as well as glass bottles containing holy water, holy earth and garlic paste.
The box was left to a Yorkshire woman in her uncle’s will.
Nigel Smith, from Tennants Auctioneers in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, said it had received “a lot of interest”.
“We had been expecting something between £1,500 and £2,000 and it went for £7,500. We had six telephones on it and there was a lot of bidding.
“It’s an extremely interesting thing,” said Mr Smith.
Valuer Oonagh Drage said the kit was probably made in the late 1800s  Source
