A box from the 1890s containing equipment to kill a vampire. Belief in the existence of vampires persisted throughout the 19th century and the study of vampirism increased in popularity after the publication of Bram Stoker’s novel ‘Dracula’ in 1897. This kit contains various items to slay the undead including: a rosary, crucifix, pistol, silver bullet mold, a hammer and 4 stakes, a copy of the Bible, three glass bottles containing holy water, consecrated earth and garlic paste and a handwritten psalm from Luke 20:27 which reads ‘Bid those mine enemies which would not that I should reign over them bring hither, and slay them before me.’
